I have a file with the character ã
(lowercase a + combining tilde). Encoding
and fileencoding
are both utf-8
. ga
shows
<a> 97, hex 61, octal 141 <~> 771, Hex 0303, Octal 1403
(but with the actual combining tilde in the <>
) and g8
shows
61 + cc 83
Searching with /a\%u0303
works fine.
Searching for just \%u0303
gives E486 Pattern not Found.
Can I search for just the combining character without also searching for the base character?
/<ctr-v>u0303
type in normal mode/
- start search<Ctr-u>v
- init utf-8 code input0303
- hexonal code combine character. Works fine for me. – Alex Kroll Jun 9 '15 at 15:21:g/<Ctrl-V>u0303
also worked from the command line. Please add as an answer so I can accept it. Much appreciated! (Vim docs at vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-V_digit ) – cxw Jun 9 '15 at 16:06
