Here ya go.....
This is an encoding issue with an old post in the PHP vB3 app.
The encoding of the title DB field from years ago is not specified because the designers of vB 15+ years ago did not think people would post such non-standard chars in titles of posts.
It is correct in discourse, in this case, and wrong in vB3, which is very interesting.
Dennis, are you getting bored with this mojibake stuff yet?
Actually, I'm feeling very good the only issues you are finding out outlier encoding issues which are broken in the old, legacy, obsolete, long EOL, forum, at this point.

What title do you see on the old site?
Old site title is broken.... due to encoding issue:
New site, title is looking good:
If we edit the title on the old site and replace the mojibake with regular double quotes, all will be OK.
But honestly, I would not worry about it; but of course we can if we want. It's been like this for nearly a decade and no one said anything about it before

Those quote marks are in an encoding not processed by the PHP / HTML as proper "UTF-8" in this legacy vBulletin LAMP application, and so it replaces it with the "WTF?" mojibake symbol.
When you look on the old site, you are seeing encoding processed by PHP based on the legacy PHP encoding to HTML.
The new site does this totally different, that is why it displays properly over there in communityville.
If you edit the old title and replace those oddly-encoded chars with the same quotes as on your keyboard the encoding will change, all will be great again and the world will be as one
Hi all!!
Im using command file -i myfile.xml to validate XML file encoding, but it is just saying regular file . Im expecting / looking an output as UTF8 or ANSI / ASCII
Is there command to display the files encoding?
Thank you! (2 Replies)
