Possible fix?

Already discussed but it'd be a workaround, not a real solution to the underlying problem.

LOL. Amusingly, it isn't displaying correctly above for me either.

If I type manually d�j�-vu does it work then I wonder?

Edit: Nope, Input broken and non-recoverable, that should never happen.

I just typed accent key and e btw. -> é

Edit 2: What on earth.. accent works, but not what I typed previously with the same key combo?
déjà-vu

Edit3: So if no unicode sign is on page when you enter unicode in post it's borked but if the borked thing is quoted, say, by me in that topic just entering � in my post first it works fine.

Btw, those were all identical inputs. I didn't copy and paste. THE INPUT was 100% unicode conform. It's the post action that mangles it.

This news entry displays the punctuation marks on d�j� vu correctly. But if I click on Post Comment it then does NOT display them correctly -- I get the diamonds with question marks in them. Well, at least I did three of the four times I tried it. This was using Waterfox if that matters.
