I just re-checked about the (correct) spelling of the computer programming language   '''Déjà Vu''',   and it is indeed misspelled almost everywhere on Rosetta Code   (as   '''Déjá Vu''').   Should someone with the proper administrative authority do a global change to reflect the proper spelling?   -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 12:03, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

:Are you sure? I don't see any instance in [http://www.rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=5000 Special:Categories&limit=5000] (caution: large page). And since the major contributor for this language on RC seems to be its author (see [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Gvx&offset=&limit=500&target=Gvx this] and compare to [https://github.com/gvx/deja this]), I guess he takes care to spell it correctly.

I finally got to the root of the problem --- it was my misunderstanding/misreading/misinterpreting of the (or a ?) translation of two files that I had downloaded from Rosetta Code.   It finally became clear to me that we were observing the same character as two   ''different''   characters, even though they were the same ··· err, I hope that almost makes sense.   The ASCII files that I was viewing:

RC_POP.LAN Line=919 Col=1 Size=918 Alt=0,0;1

* * * Top of File * * *

and

where I was interpreting:

the 1st character D (ASCII) as capital D

the 2nd character(s) ├⌐ (Unicode) as lowercase é

the 3rd character j (ASCII) as lowercase j

the 4th character(s) ├á (Unicode) as lowercase á

You can see where where I made the assumption that   <big>'''├á'''</big>   was the ASCII character   <big>'''á'''</big>       (instead of the correct character   <big>'''à'''</big>).   I'll will correct the translation within my REXX program and also the program's output.   (Pardon my French, but that was a bugger to track down).   -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 16:55, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
