Unicode sample text file for testing for Unicode related problems?

16,226

This page has been used to test web browsers, with texts in several scripts: https://www.kermitproject.org/utf8.html

The Gothic entry for "I can eat glass" in particular is outside of BMP: 𐌼𐌰𐌲 πŒ²πŒ»πŒ΄πƒ πŒΉΜˆπ„πŒ°πŒ½, 𐌽𐌹 πŒΌπŒΉπƒ π…πŒΏ 𐌽𐌳𐌰𐌽 πŒ±π‚πŒΉπŒ²πŒ²πŒΉπŒΈ.

Normalization forms and XML processing are usually not problematic when moving data around, so there are no common samples that test those two in particular.

    I am looking for a sample text unicode file (UTF-8) that can be used for testing different problems related with text encoding and decoding including:

    • low ascii character usage, like first 32 codes
    • characters outside BMP
    • NFC related issues
    • XML encoding/decoding issues

    Mainly I want to copy the text into clipboard, paste it in an HTML text-area of the application, and be able to retrieve it from a page after.

    This would enable to identify different Unicode related problems that could occur at decoding, encoding or even database level.
