I am struggling somewhat with some Canadian place names that include extended characters.
I create a page through the standard MW UI and called it Saint-Étienne but it arrives into the table (collated utf8-bin) with Saint-Étienne as the page_title?!
This in turn is not accessible using the page_title to build the URL.
Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? I am hoping to find a way to prevent this conversion of the characters.
Many thanks, Paul
