New Character set for z?
I'm seeing a LRPD with a bad apostrophe. I know the failing is in my pathetic attempt to render the enlightenment that is the GRR, but I don't know what code page to use to see this properly:
Pacifist or not, Gandhi\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds got to be chuckling about now.

New I've seen a few like that on Win32.
Not very often, but I've seen a few like that on Win2k. They started appearing a few weeks ago, IIRC. But I haven't seen any recently.

Whoops. Searching Z for "\ufffd\ufffds" isn't a good idea. It returns 69,936 articles. Google doesn't seem to want to search on "\ufffd\ufffds" - it returns results for "s".

Firefox is using Western (ISO 8859-1) here. FWIW.

Cheers,
Scott.

New There's monkey business afoot.

The diamond with a question mark in it is the "unknown character" character.

Encoding was set to Unicode via the menu.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Most likely the result of a windows-1252 cut and paste job
The [link|http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/fffd/index.htm|Unicode replacement character] is coming from the server, so regardless of what you set the browser to, the display will be garbage.

You'll encounter similar shenanigans with the subsitution job M$ pulls on hyphens.
