Hi Everyone,

I've noticed an issue in gitweb where git projects are created with
characters such as:
€酮خد㐁ᠡꀈ༑㘚.git

But in the gitweb page content, URL section,  a git project is
rendered incorrectly?

Example screenshot:

Thanks for your help!

Joseph,
What character set is that supposed to be in? In addition, if it is
UTF-(something), what code segment are you using?
