| Summary | 0000050: DB Entries contain invalid character codes | ||||
| Description | Some DB entries contain non-html encoded special characters which are not displayed correctly. Possible solution: run a script over all DB entries which converts such characters into their html encoded counterparts. Old Req: While browsing with FireFox the anime Turn A (and some others) the page encoding used in AniDB (iso-8859-1) shows some strange characters for episodes and description. This isn't only related to FireFox; the same happens with IE and Opera. Shouldn't the encoding be changed to UTF-8 or some sort of escaping for the wrong characters be made? Link to anime: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=916 | ||||
| Additional Information | Problem: the counterpart for some characters may be undefined because it can no longer be determined which encoding was used when they were entered. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

It seems I misunderstood the problem. The problem is a wrong character that seems to have been left from some old encoding style. Couldn't this be fixed by a process over the database? |
|
|
yes, and this in ONTODO, however, it doesn't have a high priority so far. |
|
|
btw. if you change this request accordingly I'll be happy to change it's state to ONTODO too :P |
|
|
The problem is I don't have the rights to change it :( |
|
|
I must state that the most common mistake is the one visible in Turn-A Gundam episodes about the ' (apostrophe). |
|
|
I've often submitted corrections about those apostrophes. You could just make creq for each episode and it will be solved. |
