Description Andy Grundman 2009-08-03 10:45:00 UTC

The default name of a Mac is something like "Andy Grundman's Computer" where the apostrophe is UTF-8  0xe2 0x80 0x99.  We should replace this with a standard ASCII apostrophe.

Is there a limitation in the charset we can use? Umlauts et al. might be  
pretty common over here (kitschen -> "Küche" in German)

Comment 2 Andy Grundman 2009-08-03 10:49:55 UTC

I think we must only use ISO-8859-1 as it has to be displayed by the font in ip3k firmware.

Comment 3 Andy Grundman 2009-08-03 10:50:55 UTC

The char used is aka Unicode 2019, "right single quotation mark"

Comment 4 Andy Grundman 2009-08-03 11:11:48 UTC

Fixed in change 28019.
