NB: The unicode 'replacement character' in the title was copied from one of my titles. The ¢ and É were also - but from when they displayed correctly.

Thanks!

Hey! Nobody said there was gonna be a test today!

Note to self: This is in reference to the comments on https://webpbn.com/read.cgi?type=P&id=29935&what=solved&start=1

No, Kristen. Think better of yourself!

"This was a test, not a puzzle."
So did I pass? ;-)

Re: #9, I hadn't even noticed that I left off the T in "it." I've fixed it. :)

Lol #9

????

now posting unicode just results in a regular ? being entered instead of the windows-pagecode gobbledygook that used to result. Arguably not an improvement since the information is lost. At least the gobbledygook could be decoded to find out what it *should have* been

Hm. Nothing on the server has changed that should have caused that, but I see it too. I dug into the code and looked back as far as 2013 and the parts for displaying characters have not changed. Yet this used to work and now it doesn't.

Testing a special character to see if it works: ?

Hm. This may take some work to figure out.

An update: Much as I would like special characters to be working, they are a giant rabbit hole of a topic, so I'm going to put it after the other programming tasks on my To Do list. So it *is* on my list, but it may be a while before I circle back to it.

Thanks again Valerie for all that you do!

I second David's comment. Valerie, we love you for your amazing self, as well as for all the things you do!
