Try to post a message that contains a Latin symbol with diacritic mark.

Maybe (it went unnoticed by me).
 
Do we have a solution?

We discussed it previously.  I remember there was a solution, but it was for the % sign.

It seems to me that the firewall shielding the server only likes valid UTF-8 posts.  If I set the page encoding to UTF-8 and post a e-acute (e+´) I get the above.  It is an e-acute but with the 2 UTF bytes displayed as 2 characters.  If I set the page encoding to UTF-8 for that reply, I see the e-acute.  Maybe the web server should be instructed to use UTF-8 encoding?

I hadn't noticed it before, Barukh, but I stumbled on it the other day too. I was trying to make a post containing the name, Schroedinger, but was forced to replace o-umlaut with oe because it kept "breaking" when I clicked "Post" or "Preview".
 
Grimbal, what was the solution for a character like, o-umlaut?

There was no solution for accentuated characters, only a fix about the % sign.

[e]actually, there's still a few strings beginning with % that don't work (like with 00), but I doubt they'll be a problem.[/e]
