What happened?

My Unicode text was replaced when Gemini edited my files. For examples: Đồng > đồng Samoan tālā > Samoan tālā Venezuelan digital bolívar > Venezuelan digital bolívar ...

My entire date and currency libraries was silently destroyed by Gemini, and Gemini cannot restore it to its original state.

What did you expect to happen?

Handling Unicode correctly.
