Issue with some characters about chimera HOT 3 OPEN

Confirmed. Adding some info to this.

>>> import urllib.parse
>>> s =urllib.parse.unquote('http://127.0.0.1/library/gba/edit/Pok%C3%A9mon%20Pinball')
>>> s
'http://127.0.0.1/library/gba/edit/Pokémon Pinball'
>>> s.encode('iso-8859-1')
b'http://127.0.0.1/library/gba/edit/Pok\xe9mon Pinball'

YAML file content should be encoded in utf-8 and url probably needs to be decoded.

Bottle should decode all parameters as utf-8. I would suggest to try to use the request class here but I only have a "production" setup here.

content_id = request.query.name

I came here to post this same issue.
Special characters will not display in the web UI and you get an error message (shown above) when you attempt to edit the entry.

I took another crack at this and finally figured it out. The issue ended up being the use of the paste backend server. Replacing it with an alternative backend seems to do the trick. Should be fixed in an upcoming release.
