← Session 24 — ii′-2…4: swaps, (4.10) design, contour + website roadmap fixes
thinking (1028 chars)
Hmm — the output shows `ii'-3a` and `�`. That's suspicious. Wait — that's probably just the console output encoding of my Bash session mangling the print (cp1252 console). The `�` is the replacement character... or is it the console failing to print "—"?
Wait: `errors="replace"` would put U+FFFD (�) in the string if decode failed. But with encoding="utf-8" the decode should succeed (git output IS UTF-8). Then `print` to a cp1252 console... printing "—" (U+2014) to cp1252 — cp1252 HAS em-dash (0x97). And "′" (U+2032) is NOT in cp1252 — print would fail with UnicodeEncodeError or print "?". The output shows `ii'-3a` — a straight apostrophe!
Hold on. Maybe the commit messages actually contain a straight apostrophe and my earlier assumption was wrong. And the `�`... Let me check: is the terminal output here re-encoded? The Bash tool captures output; the console codepage may mangle things.
Let me verify properly: check what bytes git outputs and what Python string we get, using repr/ascii to avoid console mangling.
The terminal may be mangling Unicode on display. Let me check the actual string content with `ascii()`.
