Re: TriG test suite issues

Thanks for your comments. The TriG tests were forked before the updates were made to the Turtle tests. I made the updates you requested and a couple of more.

Please let us know if this resolves your issue.

I believe this was fixed in the Turtle test suite to allow existing (old-style) N-Triples parsers to be used to test implementations of new-Turtle systems, and I think the same reasoning should apply to N-Quads and TriG. The files with the new-style escapes are:

While the TriG (and Turtle) grammars allow this codepoint in their character ranges, this codepoint is not a valid Unicode character. This causes problems for me in testing my TriG code because I can't easily change the behavior or perl or the low-level libraries being used to handle Unicode and file I/O (which I believe are doing the correct thing in throwing errors when they see this codepoint). The relevant Unicode code table[1] says of this codepoint range:

The two files I see containing this codepoint are:
