Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Problem with Weblogger in 5.1: ï¾ appearing in entries.

Jeff,

Thanks, that solved the problem!

Well, changing to UTF-8 actually masks the problem.

I have an RSS feed for this blog.  Visiting the RSS feed generates the following:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://ncbt.org/family/abbyblog/rss/rss.xml';. Line 20, Position 25

Now this is actually an IE error.  I can visit the page in Mozilla, but Mozilla shows many of the spaces in the blog as a question mark inside a triangle.  If I look at the rss.xml file directly, a lot of spaces have been replaced by hex character A0, which on Windows is a space of some kind.  These characters exist in the database as well.

So this seems to be coming directly from the form post.  Is something odd going on with IE?  Should the content type be hacked to iso-8859-1 instead?
