[TYPO3-english] Character Encoding Problem with Commenting system (comments)

[Francois Suter]

Hi,

> These values do not appear correctly when we enter French characters.
> For Example the character "ç" gets displayed as: "ç"

Actually I observe this very behavior on Dmitry's own site. I have left 
comments with my name "François". When I get back to the site, the name 
field of the comment form displays "François".

I would say the error lies when the cookie is written, because it 
contains the following:

Fran%C3%A7ois

which means the double-byte UTF-8 character was badly encoded in the 
cookie to start with.

Cheers
