comments in ascending chronological order (reverse):

Why does this work in the main section and not in comments?

Original: *#9581;∩*#9582;(-_-)*#9581;*#8745;*#9582;

In comments: *#226;*#149;*#173;*#226;*#136;*#169;*#226;*#149;*#174;(-_-)*#226;*#149;*#173;*#226;*#136;*#169;*#226;*#149;*#174;

with * replacing &

Comments post is encoding something differently. UTF8 Gods are laughing. But's not obvious.

Hmm ... my guess is that the form action is assuming the input is in ISO-8859-1. What happens if you change the form action to

<form 
   style="margin-left: 0;" 
   action="/archives/viewentry.cgi?id=" 
   accept-charset="UTF-8"
   method="post"
>

Crap. Worked for me. Firefox 17.0.9 SL6/Gnome.

Just to give you another test, here is all of the above sent from Google Chrome 18.0.1025.151 on a Macbook running OSX 10.8.3.

Note: Did that 'cut and paste'. So maybe the problem is there? It looked OK in the comment box before I sent it.

I'll have to find some time to fire up Chrome and see what's happening. The document should be tagged UTF-8, but maybe the form isn't for some reason? The CGI object should be instantiated everywhere with -utf8, which should assume that encoding for everything, but...

And, yeah, I'm using cut-and-paste too.
