Description

Currently the charinsert extension enters HTML entities for all wikis. But UTF-8
wikis prefer all input to be in UTF-8. Certainly the English Wiktionary does. Another
problem is that searching does not treat HTML entites and UTF-8 plain text the same,
even with the new search engine.

Bug 1036: "Search doesn't handle special characters correctly" already covers the search
discrepancy I mention though it's not very detailed and hasn't received any attention.

Charinsert inserts UTF-8 characters if that's what you give it.

Resolving as WORKSFORME.

Yes it was my mistake. There was no such problem.
