Using the Serbian user interface, � is displayed at the end of some Serbian definitions (e.g. [[WiktionaryZ:biologija]]). --[[User:Red Baron|Red Baron]] 11:34, 29 August 2006 (CEST) :It looks fine to me (Firefox) [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] 13:54, 1 September 2006 (CEST) : it happens to me in French, it's at the end of the part of the def that is displayed (before we click on the "+" sign) when the letter where it's cut is a special character (é, è, ...). (Is it any clear?) [[User:Kipcool|Kipcool]] 19:25, 8 September 2006 (CEST) :: Seen again today on the above-mentioned article (with Serbian interface).

Created attachment 4608 [details] Screenshot of anomaly
Still happens with UI language set to 'sr' on http://www.omegawiki.org/Expression:biologija. Added a screenshot and updated URL.
This bug is still there; the problem is that the truncation of the displayed text uses plain old substr (see OmegaWiki/Editor.php), which cuts at bytes, not at UTF-8 characters. So if the boundary happens to be inside a UTF-8 character, the result is an invalid UTF-8 sequence, displayed as � in most browsers. You need either to use mb_substr (or implement a similar function), or clean the resulting string (UTF-8 is self-synchronizing, so it’s not a problem).
Fixed in r57611
