I had a Tweet oddity yesterday. I tried to tweet this Page, and Twitter couldn’t do more than “Ju”, apparently stopped by the accented u. I changed it to an unaccented u and it went through. Stuck on html?

Juandaacute;rez , That spells “Juarez” with the accented u in html. Works in preview…

Hmm. There’s some funny business going on with the way Twitter handles HTML character entities. Because of little weirdnesses like that, I usually try to keep accented characters out of my article titles.
