A spectre is haunting Unicode

https://www.dampfkraft.com/by-id/a824aa10/img/ghostcanvas.l.jpg
The JIS X 0208 encoding was established in 1978 with added characters that later became known as ghost characters, which had no obvious sources. An investigation in 1997 discovered the origins of most ghost characters, including some being mistakes during cataloging and others having unclear or misread sources.

Tracking down a Zsh history data loss bug

The author investigated a bug in Zsh where commands were sometimes missing from the shell history file, despite being run previously. The issue was eventually tracked down to an incorrect implementation of signal handling in savehistfile, which caused it to truncate the history file when interrupted by a signal.
