I edited the special character list at https://nv.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Visualeditor-specialcharinspector-characterlist-insert When I try to edit an article, my edit to the list does not appear. I went to http://jsonlint.com/ to validate the code, and it says:

Parse error on line 1:

<!DOCTYPEhtml><htmll

^

Expecting '{', '['

However, I don't see anything like <!DOCTYPEhtml><htmll in the list. After trying to find <!DOCTYPEhtml><htmll, suddenly all the symbols and characters in the list changed to Unicode points (like "\u2212": "\u2212"). I don't know how that happened and I can't seem to revert it.

Works for me, for example try https://nv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iich%CA%BC%C4%85h?veaction=edit&uselang=nv

Okay, I see what it is now. I have to have the Navajo language selected in my Preferences before I can see the edited list. That does not explain why all the symbols changed to Universal Character Names (UCN). I’m going to try re-entering each affected letter and symbol in the list to see if I can get the Unicode letters and symbols back again. Thanks.
