 * You can see a planet site (a site that use planet python script) at [http://www.d-sur.net/planeta/](http://www.d-sur.net/planeta/)
   made all from WP sites.
    - My site: Rodolfo Pilas (see March 21, 2004) has a recent updated CVS wp-rss2.
      php version. And you can see problems to display extended characters.
    - d-Sur periodismo digital (see March 20, 2004) has a stable 1.0.2 version.
 * It is easy to see that CVS_wp-rss2.php produce **an incorrect output** of extended
   Spanish characters and stable_wp-rss2.php produce **a correct output**.

 * CVS files are not intended for production sites, so I’m not hugely surprised …..

 * Yes podz, I know it. I report the problems because I understand that is my cooperation
   to the project.
    I have the possibility to use unstable versions and I help reporting
   problems.

 * Not a problem with WordPress.
    Your feed is using UTF-8, but the site that aggregates
   the feeds does not support UTF-8 or other double-byte charsets (it does the same
   thing html_trans would do in WP). Also, that site doesn’t even specify a charset.

 * Michel, can you explain me why you think that wp-rss2.php from a 1.0.2 version
   produce a correct output and wp-rss2.php from CVS version produce an incorrect
   output?
    If this is not a WP problem, I would like to notice “planet” developers.

 * Looks like there’s [a patch](http://arch.netsplit.com/scott@netsplit.com--2004/planet--devel--0.2--patch-4)
   in Scott’s repository from April 19 to have planet output as utf-8, which should
   solve your problem.
