Somehow, WordPress is inserting C2 A0 characters in my feed, which means that Planet NZTech can't parse them, so my posts don't show up until I find them manually and fix them.<\/p>\n
C2 A0 is a unicode non-breaking space. It could be because of my habit of hitting Space twice after a sentence, that it realiases one of them has to be non-breaking. Whatever it is, it's irritating.<\/p>\n
It doesn't happen in the output under ISO-8859-1. It's only on Windows, doing a diff of the feed as downloaded on my UTF-8 Linux server, that I actually see the problem.<\/p>\n
Badly configured UTF-8 systems often end up with the symbol A-with-circumflex (\u00c2) before the character. In #wlug, we lovingly call this character \"the asshat\". I had thought that putting it in would stop this post from being picked up, but seems there's an \u00e2 in HTML just for my asshat character.<\/p>\n
I've also found I can see them with LANG=iso-8859-1 less index.html<\/em>. This explains why I couldn't find them to start with - less runs in UTF-8 by default, which draws it as a space!<\/p>\n Unfortunately, it works fine on Planet WLUG<\/a>, so it's fixed in newer planetplanet, which doesn't work for Follower<\/a> at the moment ?<\/p>\n Not much can really be fixed at this point, so this writeup can act as a \"this is the problem\" in case anyone Googles for \"wordpress c2 a0\".<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somehow, WordPress is inserting C2 A0 characters in my feed, which means that Planet NZTech can't parse them, so my posts don't show up until I find them manually and fix them.
