Subject: Re: [rehash] Server Error when preview comment having char

Message: I can't reproduce this anymore; I copy and pasted in quite a few single unicode characters, including 0x7f (division sign), and failed to get the server to up and chuck. I think we can close this, but I'd like @martyb to reconfirm it

Attempting same, here.

    NOTE: The parent comment is reporting the attempt to directly enter the *characters* which correspond to the hexadecimal character entities from 0x10 through 0x1f, with each character separated from the next by an underscore character "_" (i.e. _)

    __ ... 

    i.e.:

    �_�_� ... �

    NOTE: SoylentNews *currently* replaces these characters entered as numeric character entities with the character "�" — this is correct behavior.

    The problem is that it is failing to do so for these characters when they are entered directly. These are illustrative of the problem with Unicode characters from Control Set C0 and Control Set C1.
