Thanks! We'll add this to the "tidying up" list, which we're working through daily.

Btw, which encoding you use?
We've switched all tables over to utf8mb4.

See this user's 'most popular reviews'. The question marks there were previously stars of some kind, though there are stars (★) that appear fine in the user's 'bio' section, and they seem to be okay copy-pasting into one of my own user reviews.

Thanks for the heads up -- we'll add this to the list of character mistakes we're still cleaning up!

The letter "u" with a macron (ū) is still rendered as a question mark in past reviews (see djross's review of Guilty of Romance), but the letter "o" with a macron seems to be okay (see Criteenque Movie Reviews' review of Tokyo Story). Not sure if that means you've already covered the rest of the macron'd letters and just haven't gotten to "u" yet.

We haven't gotten to everything yet -- still working through these. Thanks for the additional examples, though!

I know, I just meant that I didn't know whether the "ū" = "?" was already on your aforementioned list of character mistakes.

Question marks appearing in Show Description

The right name is "Pawel Kopinski". I don't think it had any accent marks or anything - so not sure why the question mark is appearing here. I am pretty sure this used to be fine earlier - I remember because I had submitted a correction to this description earlier.

I did fix it now by myself. The german special case characters involved were "ä", "ö", "ü", "ß" - if that helps you.

This is most likely due to the Polish letters ł and ń (Paweł Kopiński would be the Polish spelling).
