[Wikipedia-l] Proposed addition to wikipedia: Naming conventions

[Pierre Abbat]

I'd like to add the following to the page:

=== Avoid diacritics ===
If a name has diacritics, for instance [[Jose Ramos-Horta|José 
Ramos-Horta]], avoid the diacritics when naming an article. If a link has a 
diacritic, what page it links to depends on the character set the browser is 
set to. A UTF-8 browser goes to what looks to a Latin-1 browser as 
"Jos&itrema;&iques;&1/2; Ramos-Horta", whereas a Latin-1 browser goes to an 
article whose title has an invalid UTF-8 character.

Is that really UTF-8? I thought that é was only two bytes in UTF-8. Those 
entity codes I made up on the spot, but there really is such an article (go 
to Jose Ramos-Horta and hit "pages that link here").
