Description Daniel Scharrer 2012-10-08 00:29:07 UTC 
KCharselect's knowledge about Unicode characters seems to be limited to UCS-2, which is a bit diappointing for the most useful method to find input arbitrary and uncommon characters under KDE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Seach for "
Comment 1 Daniel Scharrer 2012-10-08 00:34:33 UTC 
Uhm, apparently KDE's bugzilla instance doesn't like those characters any more than KCharSelect.

Fixed report:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter the FIRE unicode character (U+1F525) in the KCharSelect search bar (can be found here: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f525/index.htm - under "Java Data"

Actual Results:
No characters found.

Expected Results:
An entry about the FIRE character.

Additional Information:
KDE in general can display these characters without problems and there are fonts that provide glyphs for above-U+FFFF characters.
