When UTF-8 = UTF-8 (schneide.wordpress.com)

That must have been an annoying problem to debug.

I wonder how many different equivalent encodings exist. As I live in a Spanish-speaking country working for a Brazilian corporation, I live with characters such as "ñ", "ç" and others :)

We try not to name database tables with those characters and limit them whenever possible (sometimes a variable with an "ñ" slips through though, fortunately never had a crash).
