Description Maxilys 2006-02-13 02:06:01 UTC 
Version:           1.2.1 (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.7-default

Unicode characters are misinterpreted in the short view tab. They appear as 2 characters. They are however okay in the full view, as well in a tab as in another Konqueror window.

Do you have an example feed around?

On sunday 2006.02.12, in the article form Mark Kretschmann (markey): Fast forward to Amarok 1.4.

Where *A(r)* represents a capital A with a circumflex accent and the symbol "Registred Trade Mark" (an "r" in a ring) while in a Konqueror window, there is only the (r). 

If bugs.kde.org allows these chars, I mean: "®" instead of "®".

This is a feed problem, not an Akregator problem.
Planet KDE often gets hiccups when processing Unicode.

Look at the Planet KDE feed: "Apple&amp;#194;&amp;#174"
The ® is escaped as _two_ chars.

The original amarok feed:

http://amarok.kde.org/blog/feeds/index.rss2

It contains the "®" unescaped: "Apple®"
