Um, what??
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I don't find a translation (e.g. google translate or leo) for this (copy pasted from ASTM norm pdf)
"rectification"
but this is ok
"rectification"
To test you need to copy paste the two candidates into the translator.
Took me some minutes to find out why.

If there's a special character in one than it didn't make it through the cut-and-paste.
If it identified one or the other as other than English (Google took a shot at French at one point) then you just got to look more carefully.
Or, perhaps you just need to feed your mouse?

Have a look to the source code of the post 
The same can maybe happens to you e.g. german "ä", French "è" spanish "ñ" in case the translator does not "normalize" the Input.

In the source it is, indeed, the fi character. On my screen, where I copy/pasted to google, however, they're both the same (and the same length - which would have been a hint).
I can't decide if my post was right or wrong.

Also no Need for that. You posted your experience and I posted my experience.

Yes it did - that's not an "fi" in the first version, it's an "fi": Unicode Character 'LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FI' (U+FB01)[^]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Called a ligature, if I recall correctly from High School printing shop class.
But, both worked in my Google translate. Separately and together.
I based my reply on the evidence presented to me.

Thanks for this. Never heard from that, but first readings in wiki is interesting.

Is that why the translator "choked" on it?
|
|

No - the translator choked because you are the victim of a dark curse.
My browser is protected ! It seems to have rendered the ligature (which is not really needed for internet fonts) into their proper two-character format. (some ligatures are longer, like ffi)
If you send a generous offering, I can send you a talisman sure to fix the internet for you.

copy and pasting code from websites often results in similar errors; unknown/illegal characters, and they are impossible to spot since they look perfectly OK.

Only illegal in the context of a C++ compiler was what I was saying.
