(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Edie]

What did you do?
================
1. entered characters from keyboard as usual- new problem (previously characters displayed OK)
2. copied and pasted characters from little window named Characters, Letterlike Symbols - same problem
3. uploaded page via Cyberduck2 as usual, refreshed new version each time - in Chrome, SeaMonkey, FireFox

What happened?
==============
Same problem - lots of question marks within diamonds

See my page http://bouldercouplescounseling.com/ to view the problem - near the bottom of page describing trainings, all of which need © or ® or ™ 

What should have happened?
==========================
view the characters correctly

Is there anything else we should know?

Reproducible on the 12/22/13 Nightly:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0

This is also reproducible on other browsers on my machine (e.g. Chrome) so it might also pe a website issue.

Ioana, if there's a U+FFFD (�) involved, that tends to be the result of an encoding issue and belongs in Core::i18n.

In this case, the issue is that the HTTP response has a

  Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

header, which overrides the

  <meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"
    http-equiv="content-type">

declaration in the page.

Edie: the easiest (and best) solution on your side is probably to encode the page as UTF-8; feel free to let me know if you need help with that.
