I see. Thanks.

FYI (mostly off topic), I think the hyphen-minus is considered both an ASCII char as well as Unicode.

######### START MOSTLY OFF TOPIC REFERENCE #########

Reference:

Quote:
The hyphen-minus (-) is a character used in digital documents and computing to represent a hyphen () or a minus sign (').

It is present in Unicode as code point U+002D - HYPHEN-MINUS; it is also in ASCII with the same value.
Where is the hyphen in duckduckgo.com ?

My understanding is that hyphens used in domain names are generally coded in ASCII, FYI.

Reference:

Quote:
The characters allowed in a domain name include letters (abc), numbers (123), and dashes/hyphens (---). No spaces are allowed and the domain name can't begin or end with dash/hyphen.
In the case above (in a permitted domain name char), the hyphen is considered ASCII.

Anyway, this is not germane to your question, which is related to GTK applications.

######### END MOSTLY OFF TOPIC REFERENCE #########

My best guess is that your GTK application has an input filter which checks for non-ASCII chars and pops up an error message when non-ASCII is detected.

The way around this, off the top of my head, is of course to look at the source code, verify the code which is detecting the non-ASCII char (and giving the error pop up) and then comment that code out and recompile and test it.

Here is a link to the source:

Code:

Hope this helps a little bit.
