...and not just this, they doesn't show properly in tracklist/lineup info as well. It would be great if support for such rare (in English, but abundant in many Eastern Europe languages) characters were created/improved. As it is now, the situation is not good (as I will show on some examples) [quote] ě š č ř ž ý ý á í é Ě Š Č Ř Ž Ý Á Í É ň Ň ď Ď ť Ť [/quote] and those are only ones that I use, there are for sure others. I am Czech from Czech Republic, I can speak for my country. These characters are used a lot in names, as shown here: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=20433 HVEZDON/ASTEROID (should be HVĚZDOŇ/ASTEROID) 1. Trhanec (The Muffin) (4:35) should be 1. Trhanec (The Muffin) (4:35) But updating (both directly on album's page, or from admin panel) doesn't work for me, Marty McFly, nor for Eugene NotAProgHead , which leads us to think that Unicode support doesn't work, or work badly. If there is anything that can be done, please do it - it would solve one of the bigger problems of our team - Czech Republic, Slovakia and all other countries that could use this have hundreds of albums that suffer from it (estimate). |

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Another, probably related, Unicode problem was reported in February: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75568&KW=.
Nothing's changed yet.

Eugene, from the other thread:
It wasn't happening when done from admin zone, but now it is happening even from admin zone, right ? |

No, editing from Admin zone is OK, it does not destroy diactric letters.
The problem is in some letters (like ě š č ř ž) specific to Czech and some other languages. Regardless of the way of editing (from the album page or Admin panel) they are never shown correctly. Edited by NotAProghead - September 21 2011 at 19:23 |

Wait a minute, ě š č ř ž are diactric as well, right ? So the system can take some and refuses others. |
