 New Comment:

This could be because the poster of the example bug report used
ISO-8859-1 as default encoding in his/her browser. Watching my bug
report in ISO-8859-1 will give æ, ø and Ã¥ instead of æ, ø and
å.

Same as the example in ISO-8859-1 displays as "�", "�"
or "�" in UTF-8.

Description:
------------
bugs.php.net seem to use character encoding iso-8859-1, but does not
specify it anywhere unlike www.php.net which has a meta tag specifying
UTF-8.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

bugs.php.net only has the following in header:
Content-Type	text/html

Should be
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
or should include a tag
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1"/>

Or maybe it should be UTF-8 ?

Reproduce code:
---------------
Load following page with UTF-8 or similar as default encoding in your
browser:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42233


Expected result:
----------------
Page with proper characters displayed.

Actual result:
--------------
Boxes instead of æ, ø and å.
