I found no place for bug reports, so I'll abuse this thread instead.

I tried to write 'cliché' (cliche with acute accent) and it appeared garbled in the forum. Some problem with unicode?

I have found out you can use escape characters here: cliché - cliché. I don't know if you intend this.

Some tests:

´a - á

´e - é

´i - í­

´o - ó

´u - ú

^a - â

^e - ê

^o - ô

~a - ã

~o - õ

~n - ñ

¨i - ï

¨o - ö

¨u - ü

thorn - þ

eth - ð

,c - ç

Some tests of random html:

bold italics This Is A Big Header!

This may or may not show up between horizontal lines.

This is separated by nonbreaking spaces.




Funny; when I edited the parent comment, the confirmation page showed the correct characters. When I went back to the thread view, the chars were garbled again.

A test of unescaped angle braces: Usage: foo

If you fix this and you want me to retest the funky chars after that, just let me know: <my username here> at yahoo dot com.


Oops.. sorry for the repost; I should have imagined that abusing a feature request thread for bug reports was not much more original than the converse. :P
