Script filter breaks on some unicode characters

[315234]

For example

<items>
<item>
<title>a – dash</title>
</item>
</items>

Shouldn't every character except <, > and & be accepted in XML? If not, how should I be escaping these?

 

Thanks

 

EDIT: Apologies, it was a python 3 issue (LANG environment variable not set inside Alfred).

 

But where do the scripts run in script filter get their environment variables from?

Alfred doesn't import your profile when running scripts so you would need to take precautions when working on items that require the use of environment variables
