I am trying to create wiki pages via program. I have been partially
successful, but I cannot seem to get passed problems of accented characters
not appearing correctly. Below I have a self-contained example. It creates
a page called "Page Test 1" fine, except that the page text, instead of
reading as "Fédération" (with two "e"s with accents), I get complete
junk
for that part. In Internet Explorer it shows as a chinese character (!), and
in Firefox I get two nasty blobs with question marks in.
What can I do to ensure the code-page translation stuff works correctly?
There are a whole bunch of stuff for dealing with funny chars, but which to
use, or how should I be pre-processing 'user' input?
Thanks!
