I am certain this will happen in the future too, when we least expect it. (giving strange problems) Flashback : It reminds me of the problems that existed with web-browsers, when people pasted stuff from their text-editor (like Word) into html textarea boxes to publish articles... oh the old days. Maybe the UTF-8 should be 'escaped' using hex notation? How do other folks handle this?
