When using the ~~~~ or ~~~~~ on a localised system (French in my case), it *seems* that the produced string is ISO-8859-1 encoded regardless of PHP's setting. As a result, the string for "summer time" being "heure d'été", the "é" appear as � when read the UTF-8 way. Since the default charset should now be UTF-8, may I suggest that in Parser.php, lines 3701-3702 $d = $wgContLang->timeanddate( date( 'YmdHis' ), false, false) . ' (' . date( 'T' ) . ')'; be changed to $d = $wgContLang->timeanddate( date( 'YmdHis' ), false, false) . ' (' . utf8_encode(date( 'T' )) . ')'; ? This "Works For Me (tm)", and I don't think it would break much ... Regards.
utf8_encode() unfortunately would be specific to Latin-1 locales; this issue exists on Windows for other languages and charsets as well. It may or may not be possible to get clean info out of the system for this; or else make some estimates... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 751 ***
