I've noticed the following behavior with the "run shell script"
action:
1) create a service with "run shell script"
2) set it to "receive no input" and to "replace selected text"
3) put this in the body:
echo "Gesprächen"
where ä is LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS' (U+00E4)
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/e4/index.htm
(input with Alt+u followed by a in the US international keyboard
layout)
When I run that, the "ä" character is split into its components: "a"
and "¨". What is displayed is a compound character that looks like
"ä" but not not behave like "ä".
It is U+0061 and U+0308 [ a ̈ ].
But when I run the exact same command directly from Terminal, the
output "ä" is a normal U+00E4.
I get that with all accented Latin characters (including ç) but also
with Japanese characters that contain a voicing mark like "が" where
instead of getting a U+304C, Automator will produce a U+304B
followed by a U+3099 [か ゙].
That bug practically means that no international text processing is
possible with the "run shell script" action of Automator.
Can somebody confirm the bug so that I can file a report at Apple ?
