The username (the small arrows) are not UTF8 compattible but the XML header does say:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Re: XML not UTF8 compattible

I don't understand your problem.

The URL is URL encoded. This is not an error.

It's not the url.. it's the username.
that one has characters that are not in the UTF8 code tables.

Re: XML not UTF8 compattible

Interesting. Fascinating, even. But still not wrong. U+001A is a valid Unicode control character. Either the user managed to enter control characters when submitting the name, ~~or they supplied invalid input which was converted to U+001A (which is the substitution character).~~

Would you like the techs to remove the unprintable characters?

Re: XML not UTF8 compattible

That would be great.
Also, it might be polite to inform the user also.. it's not anyone I know.
