Recently, Nicolas filled a bug against how-can-i-help pointing out that we convert all the non-ASCII characters into '?'. Looking at the UDD script [1], I can tell that we are performing this conversion intentionally (force_ascii method) on most title and descriptions fields. I have two questions: 1. Why was this forced conversion added? To sanitize output and to prevent formating errors? 2. Shouldn't it be applied to all title and description fields? Regards, T.
