Details

When I entered unicode characters in this description field when submitting a 
bug, all the characters that were unicode displayed as %uHHHH where H is a hex 
value. You should replace the %u with #&x and add a ; at the end so %uHHHH 
becomes &#xHHHH; when outputting to html.

I have this problem (0.9.3):

<textarea>
e&#772; e&amp;772; -- e with combining macron 
</textarea>

The macronised e (e?) is shown in the textarea rather than the entity
(e&amp;#772;), but when the form is submitted, neither the macronised e or the e
with entity is sent, rather I get the string "e?".

The best behaviour would be (as MISE 5 does) to send the macronised e. 
The second best would be to send the uninterpreted entity, so that at least the
information is not lost.

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

What is the status on this bug? We need to use bugzilla in a multi-language
environment, where japanese characters may need to be entered into comments, etc.
It works fine, as long as you've set the charset for each of the pages to UTF-8.
We're storing Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic in our Bugzilla
installation, using 2.16.1 (though we started doing this in 2.14). With
templatization it becomes easy: just create a local version of header.html.tmpl.
I don't think I made any other changes.

This is related to bug 126266.

Unloved bugs targetted for 2.18 but untouched since 9-15-2003 are being
retargeted to 2.20
If you plan to act on one immediately, go ahead and pull it back to 2.18.

bug 126266 is basically about this, and will solve this when it lands.
