Description:
Dear friends, with my browser I can not see the page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_saga correctly.
For reasons not known to me this site is using both (some of)
the special characters specific for the Icelandic language
ÁáÐðÉéÍíÓóÚúÝýÞþÆæÖö and characters coded as "& # nnn ;".
With my browser the characters suposed to be generated
with "& # nnn ;" are not displayed properly.
This issue cloud be generall for many articles / pages and
could be corrected either manualy or with a bot, or with a
code correction (if this behavior is a bug).
According to me there are some content errors as well
(depending if old or new ortography was intended to be used;
to my knowledge in old writing additional characters where
available too).
The article (and maybe similar articles if the change was
made by a bot / code change in the past) should be reworked /
verified because
Fljótsdœla saga
Grœnlendinga saga
Hœnsa-Þóris saga
Laxdœla saga
Reykdœla saga ok Víga-Skútu
Svarfdœla saga
Vatnsdœla saga
using all "œ" = HTML "oelig" sould probably use "æ" =
HTML "aelig" .
Regardless of what solution is chosen I kindly ask you to
send me feedback with a recommendion what is allowed /
supported /recommended and what not.
Regards Reinhardt
