Description Michael 2009-08-19 15:24:28 UTC 
The title page of Wikipedia Mobile has difficulty with foreign characters - umlauts, accents etc.  It also seems to have a problem with apostrophes.

Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-08-19 19:48:51 UTC 
All three above links look fine to me testing in FF 3.5. Have these been resolved, or do they fail in some particular browser?

(Note that some browsers might default to sending the non-ASCII chars as Latin-1 encoding instead of UTF-8, at least under some circumstances. We have some detection for this in MediaWiki but I'm not sure offhand about the mobile gateway.)
Comment 2 Michael 2009-08-19 20:19:09 UTC 
I meant to say the "title tag" on the page... in Safari, it doesn't work, at least.
Comment 3 Derk-Jan Hartman 2009-09-28 13:39:27 UTC 
Can't reproduce on Safari 4, Mac.
Comment 4 Derk-Jan Hartman 2009-09-28 13:46:30 UTC 
I do see an issue with collapsing sections though. Compare article and redirect:

Comment 5 Derk-Jan Hartman 2009-10-12 13:06:18 UTC 
Both issues seem fixed as far as I can tell
Comment 6 Derk-Jan Hartman 2009-10-12 13:28:00 UTC 
This is definitely not fixed...

It might have something to do with the composed vs. decomposed unicode form of ü.
Comment 7 Niklas Laxström 2009-10-12 15:57:53 UTC 
It would be helpful to actually describe that the problem is. All user input is Unicode normalised into some form, can't remember what, so it is unlikely.
Comment 8 Derk-Jan Hartman 2010-01-05 15:15:43 UTC 
*** Bug 22020 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 9 Hampton Catlin 2010-01-06 10:53:59 UTC 
Yeah, I still can't see the problem here. Has it been fixed?

I really need more details to actually fix it. Screen shots?

-hampton.
Comment 10 Derk-Jan Hartman 2010-01-06 18:36:47 UTC
