    Some of you using UTF-8 characters may have noticed a bug with special characters. Those are fixed now, so just resubmit your signatures and bios. Comments are not fixed yet, but will be.

    I tried to read the Wiki article, but I did not understand it at all.
    What is the simplified version for what the UTF-8 code is?

    It's a character set. ANSI is the basic character set (all the characters on the keyboard plus a few others), whereas UTF-8 is ANSI and additional characters that support other languages' characters. For example, UTF-8 supports arabic letters, but the default PHP functions don't take UTF-8 into account, unless it is specifically told to do so. A bit of a bug that has been fixed in PHP 6, but till then, I get to specify in each function :tongue:
