Description:
------------
bugs.php.net seem to use character encoding iso-8859-1, but does not specify it anywhere unlike www.php.net which has a meta tag specifying UTF-8.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

bugs.php.net only has the following in header:
Content-Type	text/html

Should be
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
or should include a tag
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>

Or maybe it should be UTF-8 ?

Reproduce code:
---------------
Load following page with UTF-8 or similar as default encoding in your browser:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42233


Expected result:
----------------
Page with proper characters displayed.

Actual result:
--------------
Boxes instead of æ, ø and å.

This could be because the poster of the example bug report used ISO-8859-1 as default encoding in his/her browser. Watching my bug report in ISO-8859-1 will give æ, ø and Ã¥ instead of æ, ø and å.

Same as the example in ISO-8859-1 displays as "�", "�"
or "�" in UTF-8.

This bug has been fixed in SVN. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the SVN server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.
