## The problem

Customize thr= ows an error when trying to set characters in the Whitespace Mode display m= appings. When I paste the symbols I want into the Customize fields, it says= "This field should co= ntain a single character." Even though I've only deleted an= d entered a single character! There's a lot more documentation about th= e syntax of setting the variable in code than through the Customize interfa= ce, so I'm not sure if Customize is broken or if I'm misunderstandi= ng something. But when trying to edit more than one display mapping, this e= rror is at least vague and unhelpful.


## My system setup

* Fedora 26 Workstation x86_= 64
* Emacs 25.2.1 in an X window, with GTK+ 3.22.16
* W= hitespace Mode 13.2.2 (packaged with Emacs, in Fedora)


## Steps to reproduce

1. L= aunch Emacs without any other configuration (`emacs --quick`).
2. Execute Customize a= nd search for Whitespace Display Mappings.
3. Edit the character = mapping. For example, delete the default "$" used for newlines, a= nd paste "=E2=86=B5" (U+21b5 "Downwards Arrow With Corner Le= ftward").
4. Click Apply. See the error in the mode line at = the bottom of Emacs

I thought at first that Cu= stomize wasn't accepting Unicode characters that might be more than a s= ingle byte, but I actually tried resetting all mappings to default, then ed= iting the newline mapping to replace the default "$" with another= ASCII character, "&", and it *still* says "This field should contain a sing= le character."

I ended up setting = the display mapping manually from my config file.

=
*This* works as expected.

But I = can't figure out why I couldn't do this in Customize. What do you t= hink?

Any ideas?

## The problem

Customize throws an error when trying to set characters in the Whi= tespace Mode display mappings. When I paste the symbols I want into the Cus= tomize fields, it says "This field should contain a single character." Even though I&= #39;ve only deleted and entered a single character! There's a lot more = documentation about the syntax of setting the variable in code than through= the Customize interface, so I'm not sure if Customize is broken or if = I'm misunderstanding something. But when trying to edit more than one d= isplay mapping, this error is at least vague and unhelpful.

<= /div>

## My system setup

* Fedo= ra 26 Workstation x86_64
* Emacs 25.2.1 in an X window, with GTK+= 3.22.16
* Whitespace Mode 13.2.2 (packaged with Emacs, in Fedora= )


## Steps to reproduce

1. Launch Emacs without any other configuration (`emacs --quick`).
= 2. Execute Customize and search for Whitespace Display Mappings.
= 3. Edit the character mapping. For example, delete the default "$"= ; used for newlines, and paste "=E2=86=B5" (U+21b5 "Downward= s Arrow With Corner Leftward").
4. Click Apply. See the erro= r in the mode line at the bottom of Emacs

I th= ought at first that Customize wasn't accepting Unicode characters that = might be more than a single byte, but I actually tried resetting all mappin= gs to default, then editing the newline mapping to replace the default &quo= t;$" with another ASCII character, "&", and it *still= * says "This field= should contain a single character."

I ended up setting the display mapping manually from my config file.

=C2= =A0 (setq whitespace-display-mappings '(
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2= =A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 ;; Plain space: =C2=B7 or .
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2= =A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 (space-mark=C2=A0=C2=A0 32=C2=A0 [183]=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2= =A0 [46]=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 = )

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2= =A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 ;; Newline: =E2=86=B5 or =C2=AC or $
=C2=A0=C2=A0= =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 (newline-mark 10=C2=A0 [8629 10] [172 10] [3= 6 10])
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 ;; Tab: =E2=87=A5 or = =C2=BB or \
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 (tab-mark=C2=A0= =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 9=C2=A0=C2=A0 [8677 9]=C2=A0 [187 9]=C2=A0 [92 9] )))

*This* works as expected.

But I can't figure out why I couldn't do this in C= ustomize. What do you think?

Thank,
