It *should* be the web browser that does this!
Agreed, but I think it might be easier to update
wikipedia software than all available browsers.

Errr...a point came to my mind...
I switch my browser about a month ago
Mine was an old Opera. I had trouble with long pages,
and messed meta quite often as it did not support
unicode. But had no pb with it on the french wiki
about one good month ago when some northern characters
appeared in a myth article. I then discovered I messed
some characters.
To suit Vincent needs, I really looked for another
browser which could work on my system (mac os 9). And
I finally found Netscape 7
The th� chinois article given as an example by Vincent
is an article I edited with Opera 5. And that is after
discussions with Vincent that I concluded my only
three options were either to buy a new computer, or to
quit wikipedia, or to find a unicode friendly
navigator. Which I did.
The example I put this afternoon was done recently,
under my new browser.
So...the same problem is occuring under Opera 5 and
Netscape 7. Vincent claims it is my browser. So these
are my browserS. Or my system. Or my plateform. Or
what ?
