Missing html charset?

Hello.
Seems like ohloh is missing a proper UTF charset in it's headers, so queries using characters outside US-ASCII get pretty messed up sometimes. It's a fairly random issue (some pages seem to display in utf-8 some don't according to my Firefox). It makes the overall experience pretty painful IMHO...

Finally got around to this - thanks for your patience. Please let me know if there's any other weirdnesses...

Yeah, there is this one person:

Probably should be Jörgen :)

Thanks Levia,

It turns out that weird characters that were entered in Ohloh before this patch will need to be fixed up - either by the account holder or by ohloh admins. Meanwhile if anyone spots obvious problems like Jörgen's - let me know.

There seems to be a problem on the “about” page too. Everywhere you’re trying to use curly quotes (and thank you for doing so), they are showing up as unprintable in both Safari and Firefox. The page claims to be in UTF-8, which is an excellent choice, but no matter what coding I try to choose, I can’t see them properly.

To help illustrate this I’ve put a small screenshot highlighting the problem here.

Yes, and it doesn't work on IE7 either. Ive sent an email aswell, providing a way to track down the pages with the problem.
