If the web interface is the problem than it's the posting bit
It can't be just the posting bit. If it doesn't declare a sensible
encoding, it can't properly display UTF-8 encoded posts either.
it could be converting client side to ASCII :)
AIUI form posts are transmitted in the encoding of the HTML page
containing the form. If the user supplies a character that can't be
represented in this encoding, it gets converted on the client side to an
HTML entity reference. Look at
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=111
When this issue was filed, Bugzilla was configured to serve pages in
ISO-8859-1; hence the bug report was mangled, with
# t ~= "我";
having become
# t ~= "我";
Now our Bugzilla is on UTF-8, but this instance remains because it is
what went through to the server at the time and is therefore stored in
the database.
