In your case, your personid includes a non-ASCII character. I have asked David to do the same thing with the personids as he did with the itemids, but he hasn't done anything yet. Every page is already sending a header that identifies the page as UTF-8, but it is done on a site-wide basis with the .htaccess file, not on a file-by-file basis with meta tags. The problem is not in getting your browser to recognize pages as UTF-8. The problem is that many pages still include non-ASCII characters that are unrecognizable in UTF-8. I edited your name last night to change the question mark diamond into an umlauted o, but I didn't edit your personid, because that would just create a new personid. The personid problem is a more systematic one that needs to be handled on a database level with care and thoroughness.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

  1. An ordered list item.
  2. A second ordered list item with the same number.
  3. A third ordered list item.
Here is some preformatted text.
  This line begins with some indentation.
    This begins with even more indentation.
