No, the wiki doesn't make any attempt to convert characters of input text
to html references. It does to a limited degree convert incoming URLs, so
URLs can come in either UTF-8 or the native character set. And outgoing
language links have named references turned into latin-1 bytes, and
numeric references turned into utf-8 bytes in the generated URL. But
except on the Esperanto wiki where we do some replacement of /[cghjsu]x/
into UTF-8 and vice-versa due to the limited availability of appropriate
keyboard layout drivers, text is not touched, but saved as given to us
by the submitting browser.
If you can point out a specific example, I can check the web server logs
and see what web browser is being used that might be doing this.
