I have noticed that some people from other wikipedias
change our swedish å on the Swedish Wikipedia, when they make language links. I have
thought about why, and I suppose its because they see something different than we do.
In the normal HTML, our å is written å ä is written ä and ö is written
ö. Is this the present configuration in the php script, or does our strange
letters confuse people so much that they change them since they look like errors in their
point of view?
In what way are they changed?
The most likely explanation seems to me that it is a problem of the browser.
I know from my own browser that when I go to edit a page, some non-standard
signs are being changed into question marks by the editor. Perhaps the å is
one of those for some people?
Regarding your question about the PHP-script: No, the PHP-script leaves the
å as it is.
Possible solutions:
* Notify those users for who this happens
* Replace å by å
