There is no more strange characters in French RSS feeds - consult the blog above.

So, this thread can be closed and marked as solved!

1. I settled a test site with many French feeds

http://universe01.wordpress.com/

2. I applied EVERY theme… same thing happens, so not in the theme…

3. Since feeds displays in RSS Widget, it might be the Widget itself misbehaving.

4. Interesting hint: Open this page, through IE; use right-click option - encoding – to switch to Occidental Europe. Then, no more bad characters in the feed - Wow! However, the title «accentué» becomes garbled.

4. Then use the right button again to come back to UTF-8. Then the feeds come back with strange characters.

Hoping this hint might help the RSS Widget creators to supply a better widget.

I experiment this only and only one problem with WordPress. Wonderful!

(Although I agree that this case needed to be handled by staff as it's a back end issue.)

If you must email, it should go to: mu ( a t ) wordpress.com (change the 'at' sign) so whoever is working can deal with the issue. You can also contact them directly here although feedback should be the first method of contact.

You will see strange characters in the feed.

- Since the blog is hosted on wordpress.com (I cannot configure anything)
- Since this RSS display is a widget (same thing)

What can you suggest - besides replacing by an english feed - I want to provide visitors a french feed.

I tried also Futura Science feed - same problem.

Thank you. ClodiMedius!
