It assigns a colour to all non‐ascii charaters. It seams DFA highlighting
has no rule to colour negative characters, what the subcharacters of
UTF‐8 characters are. Before I used the workaround to assign a colour to
non‐ascii characters:

    % Workaround to make UTF-8 characters are display correctly, not as
    % <C3><nn> or <E2><nn><nn>
    dfa_define_highlight_rule("\xC2.", "normal", name);
    dfa_define_highlight_rule("\xC3.", "normal", name);
    dfa_define_highlight_rule("\xE2..", "normal", name);
    dfa_define_highlight_rule("\xE3..", "normal", name);
    dfa_define_highlight_rule("\xE4..", "normal", name);

But I found out that's enough to say it should colour all non‐ascii
characters.

One might say that Jed displays the UTF‐8 characters so broken, because
it has no colour for them. He knows only about ascii characters. So
telling him a colour and he knows how to show them. :-)

Yes.

Bye, Jörg.
