hehe.<br><br>I don't think we should burden ourselves with handling of every UNICODE nuance after all :)<br><br>Perhaps a clear warning in the documentation for spreadsheet based decision tables alerting the user to the problem of "smart" quotes" would be enough?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>There are cells where most variants of double quote (especiall double high-9 or 6) could be silently transformed (especially if there is no U+0022 in that cell) or cause a warning.<br><br>As for data cells, anything is possible. An alternative form for parameter insertion might solve this problem, and also an option could be considered. <br>

</blockquote><div><br>Special characters and digits: yes. Letters for identifiers according to Java. Not sure whether all variants of "space" are permitted. <br><br>It would help a lot if the lexer/parser would add the code point where it hiccups on a single character. Consider:<br>

<br>Quotes, in a spreadsheet's text fields, are punctuations in the author's language and usually not delimiters of some programming language. Using a spreadsheet for collecting code snippets is not the everyday use case.<br>

Can you be certain the author of the spreadsheet has not entered the erroneous, although cosmetically similar, quotation marks?<br><br>I find it unlikely Open Office Spreadsheet chooses to use ASCII quotation marks in some places but UNICODE, visually similar but otherwise completely different, in others.<div>
