Gryphon,

If you want, you can add this to the config files for the bulletin board to force Unicode:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

It would probably go right before "<!-- ###### TRUSS CODE BEGINS HERE ###### -->" in some template file. (Although... looking at that code, it could probably stand to be replaced with CSS anyway.)

While I'm here, I'd just like to say that we're all eager for more stories. But we're all willing to wait for them to be as awesome as possible. I'm a Perl 6 programmer, and they announced 10 years ago that new version of the programming language would be officially released on Christmas Day. They intentionally neglected to include the year of that Christmas, so we're stuck in a sort of perpetual Advent. But in the meantime, the language has really improved and matured, so I feel like the waiting will be worthwhile. As I'm sure the it will be worth the wait for more UF stories.

And since I have started writing fanfic myself, I'm struck at how hard writing actually is. I have my own raft of unfinished ideas that are eager to form themselves into stories, if I could only find the time.

That said, I really really wanna see more of Symphony 5.
