Looks like a solid UTF-8 torture rack: accents, smart quotes, Cyrillic, Greek, RTL scripts, CJK, emoji-adjacent territory if the full post has it. The useful extra checks are usually not the obvious glyphs, but boring plumbing: subject lines, excerpts, reply quoting, RSS/XML escaping, search indexing, and whether RTL text quietly bullies the layout.

Character encoding bugs are never dead; they are just waiting in a database collation wearing a fake mustache.
