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

[Stefan Baebler]

Hi again!

Osmxapi behaves much better now, but there is a problem with my test node
in planet.osm it is:
<node id="29161753" timestamp="2007-12-22T05:59:49Z" lat="46.1356895" 
lon="14.7445634">
<tag k="created_by" v="JOSM"/>
<tag k="name" v="Moravče"/>
<tag k="is_in" v="Slovenia, Europe"/>
<tag k="place" v="town"/>
<tag k="note" v="Testing 34 random UTF-8 
characters:Č莞ŠšĐđĆć€ÄäËëÖöÜüŁłßÇç÷פ§ÉéÁáÂâ"/>
</node>
while
http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.5/node%5bplace=town%5d%5bbbox=14.5,46.1,14.8,46.2%5d
gives
<node id="29161753" lat="46.1356895" lon="14.7445634" 
timestamp="2007-12-22T05:59:49Z">
<tag k="is_in" v="Slovenia, Europe"/>
<tag k="name" v="Moravče"/>
<tag k="note" v="Testing 34 random UTF-8 
characters:Č莞ŠšĐđĆć€ÄäËëÖöÜüŁłßÇç÷פ§ÉéÁ�.."/>
<tag k="place" v="town"/>
</node>

Note that the last 2 characters in note tag should be "Ââ".
Planet.osm is ok, but osmxapi seems to misinterpret some characters.
any ideas?

UTF characters in hourly diffs and their import into osmxapi still need 
to be checked.
