If your site serves visitors in more than one language, every character matters. We fixed a family of character encoding issues that, on pages with unusual or missing charset declarations, could cause text to show up garbled in captured page sources and previews, including umlauts, accents, and Japanese characters.

Special characters now render correctly from end to end, whether pagent is analyzing your page, generating a variation, or showing you a preview during review.

If you run a multilingual site or serve markets beyond English, this should make everything feel noticeably more solid.
