Description:
# Problem on show_trgm with 4 byte UTF-8 characters
On Encoding=UTF-8 database, try:
SELECT show_trgm('123');
→ OK
SELECT show_trgm('日本語');
→ probably OK.
SELECT show_trgm('🔍');
→ ERROR!
ERROR: invalid multibyte character for locale
HINT: The server's LC_CTYPE locale is probably incompatible with the
database encoding.
SQL state: 22021
I have reviewed some of your source code. And I have found a suspect
point.
Please check: t_isdigit, t_isspace, t_isalpha, and t_isprint.
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/322548a8abe225f2cfd6a48e07b99e2711d28ef7/src/backend/tsearch/ts_locale.c#L35
char2wchar 4th parameter should take number of input bytes. However they
pass character count.
int clen = pg_mblen(ptr);
...
char2wchar(character, 2, ptr, clen, mylocale);
I'm afraid, but could you look into about this?
