Language-specific special characters are missing

Asked by swp-bhv

Hi,

after I got the full-text to work, however not with the Tagesschau feed, but with the Spiegel.de one, I have the next problem: The "Umlauts" - äöüß - are missing.

So, the word "müssen" becomes "mssen" etc.

Is there a trick to incorporate them (e.g. format them as HTML entities or such)?

It's probably to do with character encoding. The hosted version tries to detect the character encoding and convert to UTF-8: https://answers.launchpad.net/fivefilters/+question/94332

I'm currently raising money to clean up and release the next version of full-text rss which will incorporate some of this auto-detection.

Can you help with this problem?
