Not recognizing specific characters such as § #68

Closed Thutmose3 closed 1 year ago

Thutmose3 commented 2 years ago

If the character § is in a text, when i try to get the start_index and end_index the indexes are wrong by 1.

It is as if the character § is not there. But in reality it is there. Which is problematic when needed the specific position of a word.

When testing, revocito got the position of the words correctly up to this character §. After they position of each subsequent word is wrong by 1.

Tried to reproduce this, but RecogitoJS did count the '§' character correctly in my tests. (Tested in Chrome + FF.) Which browser and OS are you seeing this on? Are you sure you set the correct encoding in your HTML page?
