Description Leif Halvard Silli 2011-10-11 16:12:19 UTC 
* The 'Glyph' column for for ⟩ contains 〉 whereas the 'Character(s)' column says that ⟩ has been redefined since HTML4 and is now pointing to ⟩/⟩

And ditto:

* The 'Glyph' column for for ⟨ contains 〈 whereas the 'Character(s)' column says that ⟨ has been redefined since HTML4 and is now pointing to ⟨/⟨

Or to quote the source code in the spec:

   <tr id="entity-rang">
      <td> <code title="">rang;</code> </td>
      <td> U+027E9 </td> 
       <td> <span class="glyph" title="">&#9002;</span> </td>
   </tr>

   <tr id="entity-lang">
      <td> <code title="">lang;</code> </td>
      <td> U+027E8 </td>
      <td> <span class="glyph" title="">&#9001;</span> </td>
   </tr>

Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-10-21 22:53:03 UTC 
That's a bug in the preprocessor's parser, I think.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-01-27 18:26:52 UTC 
Is this still broken?

> Is this still broken?


Yes, it is still broken. Tested today.
Comment 4 contributor 2012-07-18 07:14:57 UTC 
This bug was cloned to create bug 17902 as part of operation convergence.
Comment 5 Edward O'Connor 2012-09-06 23:28:50 UTC 
Looks like this has been fixed.
Comment 6 Leif Halvard Silli 2012-09-06 23:51:59 UTC 
How did you verify that it worked?

This is how I verified that it did not work:

1) Search for the cell with the text U+27E9
2) Double click on the cell just to the right of 
    that cell, in order to select its content
3) Copy (Cmd+C on a Mac)
4) Open UnicodeChecker (http://earthlingsoft.net/UnicodeChecker/)
5) Pay Shareware fee to the developer
6) Paste the character you coped into UnicodeChecker
7) Delete the extra space that you proably copied
8) Check the result.

RESULT:

I get 'RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET'/U+232A

It should have been: 'MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET'/U+27E9

Sorry. Still broken.

Comment 9 Leif Halvard Silli 2012-10-12 22:57:09 UTC 
Looked at spec, and it does indeed seem to be corrected now.

> Looked at spec, and it does indeed seem to be corrected now.

Since I suspect that bug 20702 is a result of how this bug was solved, I am opening this bug again, so that we can verify - once bug 20702 is solved, that this bug remains solved even then.

Reopening, as bug 20702 has been fixed. I'll resolve this once I've verified that the 5.1 nightly on w3.org doesn't exhibit this problem.
