Emacs is displaying Unicode LINE SEPARATOR and PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR (PS) as rectangle. PS also does not end a paragraph. How can I make emacs treat these characters properly?

  • What happens if you customize user option paragraph-separate to be a regexp string that matches just character PS? As its doc says, "(If you change this, you may have to change ‘paragraph-start’ also.)"

  • I have changed those but I dont know how to check whether it works. I have also changed bidi-paragraph-separate-re and bidi-paragraph-start-re to various values and it does work, except when I set it to unicode values (including PS).

  • For unicode values I tried with these patterns. "^\2029", "^\\2029", "^∈" and literal PS "^<PS>". None of which seems to work.

  • If you want to specify non-ASCII characters in a regex, you need to either enter it literally or use one of the Unicode escape syntaxes, eg '\u2029'
