Correcting unicode in the title
About: Burningbird
Note
- the special character in the title is not comming through correctly in the display.
- Yet, note, if i leave it alone, it will be expressed correctly in the feeds.
- The character is a "& raquo ;" without the spaces, of course.
- If you type in exactly what is in the title of the document subject URL ... that is type in the unicode sequences, then the characters are displayed correctly
- When they are taken from the fastblogit button, see 3501, then end up scredwed up.
- the comments in the php manual about urldecode are very informative regarding this bug.

(note in order for the Unicode values to display correctly on a generated HMTL page - the meta command <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> needs to be included in the page

With no other modifications whatsoever all i did was change the meta http-equiv content on the river and rooms and the /add screen to utf-8 and now everything seems to work
.
It is still screwed up in the atom1.0 feed, but that is another problem.
Also every place where i mutated the special characters manually to make them appear correctly, are now going to be comming out bad ... see burningbird ... perhaps i will make a global fix of the database to make these come out correctly.
