The 'latin1' part in my proposed code (/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/gwibber/microblog/twitter.py line 64) should be 'utf8'
m["text"] = unescape(data["text"].encode("utf8"))
The rationale is as follows: htmllib.HTMLParser from function unescape in
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/twitter.py line 48 assumes
unicode strings and won't guess character encoding if they're not.
The Twitter API supports UTF-8 [1]. So if the text strings aren't manipulated
along the way they still are in UTF-8.
