Problem Description:
Adding certain unicode characters (for example ??) cause weirdness in the replace() and replaceNoCase() functions.
Steps to Reproduce/Actual Result/Expected Result:
replace("The rich man spent all his ?? money ?? on clothes!", "clothes", "cars")
output: The rich man spent all his ?? money ?? ocarses!
replace("???? The rich man spent all his ?? money ?? on clothes!", "clothes", "cars")
output: ???? The rich man spent all his ?? money ??carsthes!
I also noticed that len("??") is 2, and that the replace is off by the same number of characters as the preceding emojis. In the first example there are 2 emojis and "cars" is added to the left by 2 characters, replacing "n " and not replacing "es". In the second example there are 4 emojis and "cars" is added to the left by 4 characters, replacing " on " and not replacing "thes".
Any Workarounds:
Using reReplace() and reReplaceNoCase() gets around this issue.Attachments:
