[OSM-dev] UTF-8 problems in informationfreeway?

[Brett Henderson]

It warms my heart to return from leave to discover new osmosis utf8 
problems, I missed those little guys ;-)

I'll check it out.  Might take me a few days though because I'm a bit 
overwhelmed with email and Christmas at the moment ...  Strictly 
speaking I suspect this is not truly a bug but yet another artefact of 
the database encoding issues, it may not be easy to nail.
