Non-ASCII characters not showing correctly in "Offline Text" mode

First reported 389 days ago in Version 1.3.1 Version: 1.3.1

Take a page like this one (just a random article from Le Monde web site, which is the equivalent of a New York Times or Washington Post in France):

http://www.lemonde.fr/proche-orient/article/2009/08/14/affrontements-meurtriers-a-gaza-entre-le-hamas-et-un-groupe-salafiste_1228821_3218.html

Take that article offline. Then on the iPhone, in Offline Text mode, all the characters with accents are not showing correctly. (But they show correctly in plain Offline mode.)

    Thanks Alessandro

    I've added the link to my list of sites to use in testing on the next version.

    Appreciate the help!

    I am having the same problem with special characters (accents) in offlinie mode. For example, the page below has the special characters corrupted when downloaded:

    http://recantodasletras.uol.com.br/contosdeficcaocientifica/2110748

    The title, for example, is "O PARAÍSO NA TERRA", but when downloaded to offlline html view, is displayed "O PARA�SO NA TERRA".

    Thanks!

    Lawrence
