[I realise there was a recent related 'Character-sets for dummies'[1] discussion recently] I am using tictocs[2] list of journal RSS feeds, and I am getting gibberish in places for diacritics. Below is an example: in emacs: 221 Acta Ortop dica Brasileira http://www.scielo.br/rss.php?pid=1413-7852&lang=en 1413-7852 in Firefox: 221 Acta Ortop dica Brasileira http://www.scielo.br/rss.php?pid=1413-7852&lang=en 1413-7852 Note that the emacs view is both of a save of the Firefox, and from a direct download using 'wget'. Is this something on my end, or are the tictocs people not serving proper UTF-8? The HTTP header from wget claims UTF-8: > wget -S http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/text.php > --2009-12-21 12:47:59-- http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/text.php > Resolving www.tictocs.ac.uk... 130.88.101.131 > Connecting to www.tictocs.ac.uk|130.88.101.131|:80... connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... > HTTP/1.1 200 OK > Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:42:05 GMT > Server: Apache/2.2.13 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.13 OpenSSL/0.9.8k PHP/5.3.0 DAV/2 > X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.0 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > Connection: close > Length: unspecified [text/plain] ><....stuff removed> Can someone validate if they are also experiencing this issue?
