Australian stuff I’m so proud of Australia 15 Jun 2010 We’re best at car thefts. Beats those wussy Kiwis, who are only best at half shell mussels. [But, those who eat such things report, they are good.] The UK: CCTV. Germany, solar panels. France: Sugar beet[!] Guess what the US is best at… [Hat tip John Lynch, who is from… Read More

Yes I did worry too much about that question (among others), but then I realized that the word “vowel” does indeed have vowels, so at least some self-referential order is restored in the universe. Why separate form and substance if you don’t have to?
Hold on — I thought of one: ha?ek contains a ha?ek! (It works on preview. Of course, with ScienceBlogs horrible Unicode support, you’ll probably just see some ASCII junk when I hit Post.)

A simple trick will make sure that UTF-8 gets through: do not ever use the preview window. There are sometimes spelling errors in my comments, because I can’t use the preview for proofreading. The glorious umlaut in my name would get borked.

Since we’re being pedantic – we weren’t? well so what? – I am sure diaerisis is the correct spelling. Now, on the thread subject, what about humans? – eg there was a minister in the New South Wales government called Aquilina with an aquiline nose; our esteemed Vice-Chancellor here at ANU is called Chubb and has a chubby face. Questions for serious consideration – was Albert Schweitzer in fact Swiss? Was Ike Eisenhower from an ironworking family? Did either Roosevelt own a field of roses? (Did Margaret Thatcher teach Sir Geoffrey Howe? Sorry – couldn’t resist it.) The people want to know. Alas, our Prime Minister Rudd is not especially ruddy-featured.

Hm. The server headers do not appear to include a character set specification. The header of this page includes: <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1” /> Isn’t that something you can directly configure to be UTF-8 on your end?
