Isn't that what Accept: and Content-Type: headers are for?

Oh... apparently seems like a cheap workaround for broken MSIE:

http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/168751/is-the-use-of-utf8-✓-preferable-to-utf8-true

Still seems inadvisable to me.

It's a trick web devs use to get certain browsers to switch on UTF8 support, 
IIRC.

Pardon my thickness, but what is the purpose of the "utf8" parameter anyway? 
Removing it from the query string appears to have no material impact on the

 I had the same issue trying to link to an individual error code. You may have 
to go the Amazon route and write something like “ŸÉŠ” for the Unicode trick?

Hi Seth,

Thanks for this. It is a great resource. I just tried to embed a link to a 
search for all the CoreVideo error codes into a tweet, but twitter doesn’t like 
the tick mark as a character in a url. Can you change that?

[PSA] OSStatus.com — Error code lookup

[Seth Willits]

I can't tell you how many times over the years I've been frustrated by having 
to manually search multiple frameworks' header files to look up what the symbol 
or description for an error code value was. (I know 'macerror' exists, but I 
have never had any luck with it. I consider it useless.)

I finally got fed up, wrote some code, and made a website. So, here's v1.
http://www.osstatus.com/

I hope someone besides me finds it useful. ;-)
