We can't save embedded zeros to DataStores, in StringValues, as Names of objects (although this is a good thing to block), and so on.
Instead of treating strings in Lua as "NUL terminated strings" on the C++-side, can you treat them as actual Lua strings and use the length the compiler gives to Lua strings pleaseeeee. |

If you don't support you will die. If you do support you still will die, but you won't feel good when you do so support. |

@man, I've got this feeling that you have no idea how to script. |

You don't JSONencode strings, and if you are implying we use a giant array of numbers then that severely restricts how much data we actually have, by more than 5x. |

I love how he says to JSONEncode a string.
"Hey guys I have a genius idea let's encode a string into a string" |

I thought they were already treated as Lua strings? I could have sworn I've used a null character before as a delimiter. |

In Lua they are treated normally (c-sided), but when passing strings with NUL characters in them (or using them) in Roblox-specific things (mostly c++-sided), Roblox just reads the string up to the first NUL instead of using the length (which is known beforehand). |

Here easy way to replicate it:
local strVal = Instance.new("StringValue");
local str = "hello\0hello"; -- expected length: 11 (stored length: 12)
strVal.Text = str; -- expecting to store 11 characters (12 in reality)
print(#strVal.Text); -- got 5 (6 in reality)
