Currently, Visual Editor is trashing badly every article that is edited on
French Wiki: every accented character is replaced by strange characters all

Could you please stop immediately VE ?
How can such a mess make its way into production ? Is there no real tests
before ?

This was due to a broken deployment of Parsoid, the new MediaWiki
parser used by VisualEditor. A new library dependency defaulted to
iso8859-1 instead of utf-8, which caused character munging to occur.
Gabriel is working on a postmortem and we'll share this shortly with
recommendations on how to
