# RSS widgets encoding ?

 * Hi all,
 * I’ve just installed a WP blog here in french:
    [Ciel du mois](http://obswww.unige.ch/cieldumois)
 * On the sidebar, I’ve configured RSS widgets (very cool feature!). I’ve chosen
   ISO-8859-1 in the WP options for the blog’s encoding, to display the JS module(
   called PGJ Astro, center page) to display correctly. Unfortunately, the RSS feeds
   show strange characters even for those encoded in ISO-8859-1 ! If I switch to
   UTF-8 in my browser, feeds display correctly… but everything else get filled 
   with strange characters.
 * Do RSS widgets encode feeds differently ?
 * Many thanks for your help !

 * you have to transcode your blog to utf-8, because it is the best standard for
   all the languages. It would also make your feeds readable in other blogs.
