746026 - Wrong encoding is used when unicode is sent

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect)

Description

[Malini Das [:mdas] - Away, not checking bugmail]

When sending a unicode string to the marionette server using the client like this:

marionette.send_keys(u"\ue007")

it gets processed incorrectly once received. This should be understood as the ENTER key, but instead turns into a checkmark in B2G Desktop, or a square in B@G on the phone. 

Most likely cause is packing/unpacking in JSON protocol layer.

I no longer get the checkmark, now I see a the U+e007 PUA icon. Even if I send the unicode directly to the sendKeys icon, it displays the E007 icon, instead of translating that to an ENTER key

This should be fixed from bug 751637
