Re: [Wikitech-l] character set problems in reverts

Hi folks, In our ongoing research here at UMN, we've discovered some reverts that introduce apparent character set problems; what seems to happen is that some Unicode characters are replaced by a character I don't recognize followed by a hexadecimal number. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dog&diff=58851026&oldid=5… What I see is that a sequence of five characters that I don't have glyphs for, which show up as five boxes with the numbers "010337 01033F 01033D 010333 010343" in them, is replaced with the sequence "?df37?df3f?df3d?df33?df43", where ? is not the question mark but a black diamond with a white question mark in it (a zero byte?). Do any of you have pointers on information as to what is going on? We are trying to devise a workaround that would result in revisions like this comparing identical.
