'Why did a comma get replaced by a Ĭ (Latin I with breve) in a csv?
I have written a simple invoicing program that stores information as a CSV. The other day it crashed and when I investigated, I found that a comma in one of the lines of data was replaced with an Ĭ which is the Latin capital letter I with breve U+012C.
What makes this confusing is the line that got corrupted is a completed invoice from 2014, so there is no way it could have been a validation issue from user input. The program was restored by a backed-up database from the day before and has been fine for the last week.
The build is C# .net V4.0 client profile and they are running the program on Windows XP.
Is there any known bug with .net or Windows XP that could cause it to replace a comma with another character randomly? I have not been able to find anything about it.
Note: There are over 13,000 lines of data in this file, each with four elements, but only one comma was corrupted?
