All three above links look fine to me testing in FF 3.5. Have these been resolved, or do they fail in some particular browser?

(Note that some browsers might default to sending the non-ASCII chars as Latin-1 encoding instead of UTF-8, at least under some circumstances. We have some detection for this in MediaWiki but I'm not sure offhand about the mobile gateway.)

I meant to say the "title tag" on the page... in Safari, it doesn't work, at least.

Can't reproduce on Safari 4, Mac.

Both issues seem fixed as far as I can tell

This is definitely not fixed...

It might have something to do with the composed vs. decomposed unicode form of ü.

It would be helpful to actually describe that the problem is. All user input is Unicode normalised into some form, can't remember what, so it is unlikely.

Yeah, I still can't see the problem here. Has it been fixed?

I really need more details to actually fix it. Screen shots?

-hampton.

I hope to have fixed this with:

http://bit.ly/6SAXUG (not yet deployed)

Fixes deployed. All seems to be fine now.
