Issue 4: Channel descriptions are not being properly encoded to preserve the original input
Project Member Reported by adewale, Mar 13, 2009
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up a JaikuEngine instance
2. Create a channel and add a description that uses Cyrillic characters
like this: http://www.jaiku.com/channel/ruscm
3. View the channel's description and note that the descriptions are now
full of ?? characters.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The encoding of the characters input should be preserved in the output

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Is this actually occurring on new channels? Imported channels from legacy data on jaiku.com definitely have this 
problem, but I believe that to be an import related problem

I can confirm it's not happening on newly created channels. See
http://www.jaiku.com/channel/testcyrilliccharacters

It's sad that the Jaiku team didn't prevent such bugs during import. Should users
correct description fields of their channels manually?

We got most of those types of bugs during import, sad that we missed this one, looking into a way to update all 
the affected channels, though just updating the description manually will do it.
