I got this report from one of my new players. He kept crashing and losing his charact changes. I found that dashes (-) in the notes fields was throwing an error when he tried to submit.

Thanks, I got an email on the matter. I'm not sure why dashes are breaking anything. I'll have to figure that one out :-/

I have the same problem when entering accented character name such as Utazó and the like. Can't use them in the character labels or anywhere on the character sheets.

That's weird too... I have it set to accept any unicode characters...

If you're doing any string manipulation in PHP, just be aware that things like substr() to limit length will not honor UTF-8 being 2-byte sequences. You might be using non-multibyte string functions somewhere.

Here's what I see when I try to use "Fortúna" as a character label:

I got the same message with my character Mac, who didn't have any unicode characters.

I gotta figure out what happened to Apache, not serving Javascript anymore; I can try to tackle that after.
