BUG: utf-8 and trackbacks/pings in iso-8859

  • Hi!
    I just converted my weblog to utf-8. Due to the german language there are umlauts (?¤????) which are corretly encoded in my blog and feeds. But when I recieve a trackback/pings with umlauts they are mostly encoded in iso-8859-1 (or iso-8859-15) which leads to funny characters in my comments. My currently solution is to manualy edit my comments. Any solutions?

  • I had to do the same (I’m using Spanish). Althouth iso-8859-15 fixed the problem in my e-mails, pages showed characters wrong so I ended up turning UTF-8 back on again.
    I don’t understand why there is a difference. I don’t mind editing code manually but I don’t know where to change.

    michel_v explained how a little hack could do the trick here : https://intraordinary.com/weblog/archives/strange-little-squares
    just add the line
    <?php add_filter(‘comment_text’, ‘utf8_encode’); ?>
    in your “my-hacks.php” file
