This is UTF8 wrongly interpreted as ISO-8859-1. ç [Atilde + Section sign] correspond to the two bytes representing ccedilla in UTF8... (0xC3 0xA7).
This name is pulled from /etc/passwd, so I have a feeling if it IS screwed up, it may be a problem with how I entered it in that file.
Can anyone see it properly? Is it an encoding/font issue with my browser, or a problem in /etc/passwd ?
My name thus appears be correctly encoded as UTF8 in /etc/passwd but gmail or your browser somehow reads it as Latin-1. It reminds me of the (prehistoric) days when I got my very first email account at university, ca 1992. In those days email servers would strip off the 8th bit of messages written with an 8bit-encoding, so something in French like "André va à l'école" would come off as "Andri va ` l'icole". F
