Hey Darren, great post!
Can you post it on the wiki, perhaps at:
http://dev.catalystframework.org/wiki/faq link to "Unicode
Troubleshooting" in the Unicode section there? It would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,

I have gone and added a section to
http://dev.catalystframework.org/wiki/gettingstarted/tutorialsandhowtos/using_unicode
that has a slightly edited version of my email post.
In the process, I discovered that your wiki appears to have a Unicode
handling problem, which I black-box debugged and present here.
If you go to the above url when you are not logged in and your browser has
its cache/cookies/etc flushed beforehand, then my Japanese text sample will
display correctly. But if you login to your account and then view the
page, then the Japanese text sample will not display properly. Moreover,
if you logout after being logged in and refresh the page again, it still
doesn't display properly, but if you wipe your cache/cookies/etc (I haven't
narrowed it down yet), and then refresh that page, then it displays properly.
I see this same behaviour on both Firefox 3.0.3 and Safari 3.1.2, both on
Mac OS X 10.5.5 PPC. A telnet to the server on port 80 also displays
correctly, though that is only testing the not logged in example.
From what I have seen so far, I would guess that the wiki is sometimes
encoding its http response as UTF-8 and other times as some single-byte
encoding like ISOLATIN1 but it is still declaring that it is UTF-8.
I don't have the source code of the wiki or access to the server to test
further though.
Someone please confirm the behaviour I'm seeing. I hope my diagnosis will
help fix it.
(On a tangent, I suggest declaring the encoding using uppercase "UTF-8" and
not lowercase "utf-8" as the server currently is doing; I don't think this
is the cause of the problem but it might be technically incorrect, unless
those things are officially case-insensitive.)
Thank you. -- Darren Duncan
