Function details: AWB cannot process pages with characters from the unicode private area, so will update the 787 pages in the search above so that other bots that use AWB can the update those pages.
I have been using MalnadachBot to fix user signatures giving high-priority Lint errors per approval in Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MalnadachBot 2. It skips pages that have characters from unicode private use area, because AWB cannot process pages that have it. Replacing the character with its hexadecimal equivalent will make those pages editable from AWB, so I support this task. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ ( talk) 17:19, 23 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Only one question: when you say some occurences
, does that mean that not all will be replaced? What are the exceptions?
