So, after dealing with a bit of monkeying with the database, I'm pleased to announce that Soylent should (in theory) have support for UTF-8 starting immediately. Now obviously this isn't well tested, so this is your chance to break the site in two, consider the comments below to be "open season" so to speak. I know the comment preview has some issues with UTF-8 (and it only works at all in Plain Text or HTML modes)
For purposes of breakage, anything that breaks the site layout/Reply To/Parent/Moderate buttons, or breaks any comments beyond itself is considered bad. We need to stop those. If you can break it (which shouldn't be hard), you earn a cookie, and I'll get you in the CREDITS file as something awesome.
For comments that are just plain unreadable, moderation will take care of them, and that isn't considered a bug. So go forth and BREAK my minions! ()}:o)↺

E = mc²
F = T∇St
I don’t think it’s working for me, but it is for other people…

UTF-8: Café, soupçon
HTML entities: Café, soupçon
Id rather not HTML-encode everything I type, but at least Duck Duck Go gives me a handy table of HTML entities [duckduckgo.com].
My quotation marks are disappearing, when encoded as HTML.
