: it happens to me in French, it's at the end of the part of the def that is
displayed (before we click on the "+" sign) when the letter where it's cut is a

Still happens with UI language set to 'sr' on
http://www.omegawiki.org/Expression:biologija. Added a screenshot and updated URL.

This bug is still there; the problem is that the truncation of the displayed text uses plain old substr (see OmegaWiki/Editor.php), which cuts at bytes, not at UTF-8 characters. So if the boundary happens to be inside a UTF-8 character, the result is an invalid UTF-8 sequence, displayed as � in most browsers.

You need either to use mb_substr (or implement a similar function), or clean the resulting string (UTF-8 is self-synchronizing, so it’s not a problem).
