Is anyone else seeing broken UTF-8 characters on the
Jargon File?
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Ubuntu Feisty.
Looks awfy like it's been pasted from an MS Word
doc - surely not?
Over here, with lynx, the page is reported as
Charset: iso-8859-1
and I see things like
The Meaning of ?Hack?
Prev? Appendix? A.? Hacker Folklore ? Next
The Meaning of ?Hack?
(in case the list mangles that, here it is with ASCII replacements for
the odd characters:
The Meaning of @Hack@
Prev# Appendix# #.# Hacker Folklore # Next
The Meaning of @Hack@
where @ replaces 8859-1 a-circumflex and # replaces A-circumflex.)
This is not the usual Windows brokenness that calls for demoroniser
(google it for those who don't know it and want to - but be sure to
spell it, as I did, with -s- instead of -z-). It's also not the usual
UTF-8 issue I've seen; when that strikes, I get two (or occasionally
more) non-ASCII characters displayed for each non-ASCII character used
by the source.
