#0, RSS feed losing non-ASCII characters
Posted by jonathanlennox on Dec-12-13 at 04:09 PM
According to the RSS feed, Corwin and Utena are off in "the curious otherworld called Dqi." It looks like non-ASCII characters aren't being converted properly from the "What's New" page...

Yeah, I noticed that. Limitation of the script that generates the RSS page's updates, I suspect.

I know this has probably been discussed before, but a lot of those non-ASCII characters show up as gibberish for me on the Forum. Is there a setting I can change or a browser add-on I can use to fix that? I'm using Google Chrome on Win7.

Make sure you're viewing the Forum with your browser's text encoding set to UTF-8 (Unicode). This is not a panacea, for reasons too convoluted for me to go into at 2:20 in the morning on a school day, but it should fix the extended characters in most any post I've made since 2008 or so, anyway.
