Can't do now. Actually have to work. :(

But ontopic, I'd really really really like to see proper unicode support on a site where 50% of the users have obscure international names.

This may be related to CSDb not supporting other fonts besides typical alphanumerical, no?

So, for instance, if I PM a mate in Polish, instead of Polish fonts, which I can enter into the message, the recipient gets crap like this: rzeźnia.

HTML ISO-8859-1 Reference

So a html_entity_decode would probably fix this. That's in case the special chars aren't intentionally encoded on the presentation layer in the first place. The text was probably encoded to prevent injections to the data access layer, right?

All text which come from user inputs undergo an html_entities before being displayed again. I guess this is pretty standard?

But this means that '&' is encoded to '&', and therefor stuff like “ isn't displayed af the unicode char but as "“".

If I simply added a html_entity_decode, this would negate the html_entities, and then people can really mess up the site with html-tags etc.

So, what to do?
