Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167800

(Calendar :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030704

The accentued character are written badly in the ics files. Some examples are:

é = é
à = Ã 
ï = ï

One of the consequence is that if you give your event a name with accent, when
you check autopublish checkbox, the calendar will download the remote file first
and replace the accentued characters in the event titles with bad characters.

thanks,

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. name one of your event hï with autopublishing on
2. make a new event (say "hello")
3. the event hï is replaced by hï

Actual Results:  
the event hï is replaced by hï

Expected Results:  
it should have done a good character encoding for international characters.
