Laconi.ca rocks – I am looking forward to building an internal twitter type site to help my company communicate better internally.

I have installed Laconi.ca behind my corporate firewall and am successfully using twibble to post to the site. However, when I use some other clients, most notably Twhirl and YATCA (Blackberry), some characters get consistently replaced by asterisks. When I view these posts in other clients (web or twibble) they show up just fine. Has anyone else seen behavior like this? Any ideas on how to fix it?


Al, we sanitize control and UTF-16 surrogate chars by replacing them with asterisks. Which version of Laconica are you running, 0.7.3? Also can you be more specific about which characters? I'm thinking it might be your PHP. Some versions of PHP are compiled against an older PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) library that doesn't understand one of regular expressions we're using. For example, Fedora/RedHat 5's stock PHP 5.1.6.
