Yeah, there was a thread on twitter about that: https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/1134144004088573955 It's 2019 and I have to add a meta= tag to let the browser know it's utf8. I expect firefox to be that broken, but I was _disappointed_ that chrome has that problem too. > i did notice an error in the checked-in file that makes a paragraph > disappear on the web, though, What _I_ noticed right after I uploaded it is I didn't update the news entry date from when I started writing it to when I actually released it. And since the date is the news anchor I linked to in the URL, fixing it afterwards would be awkward. :P > plus the BSD/Mac claim is backwards from > reality. fixes attached. (but not for the mojibake because i don't > know where that's coming from.) I know the fix: https://twitter.com/landley/status/1133981520379691008 I just haven't done it yet because I really shouldn't _have_ to (and it works for file:/// !). I'm wondering if I can stick something into .htconfig and have it apply to all files in the directory or something... (I actually can do stylesheets and javascript and stuff when I start from skeleton files and have the references open in front of me, but as with the kernel that's domain expertise you wander away from for 6 months and they've changed the best practices out from under you again. I follow people like https://twitter.com/una on twitter who do it full time and know all the tricks and just Don't Go There in my hobby projects because I know how much of a timesink it can be.) But yeah, I can cut and paste in the meta-equiv line from that second tweet URL. I'm just annoyed at browsers in general for not supporting utf-8 by default in 2019? It became the most popular encoding a decade ago (https://www.w3.org/QA/2008/05/utf8-web-growth) and is now on over 90% penetration (https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/en-utf8/all/all).
