 When you use an ASCII copyright symbol within a post title, the generated
 slug keep the copyright symbol. See a screenshot of my test case here:

 For reference, here is the title string (I hope Trac will not mess the
 encoding):
 {{{
 New forum © by someone
 }}}

 To me this looks like a bug as slugs are here to increase "search engine
 friendliness" of WordPress.

 Some solutions may be:
  * To strip the copyright symbol out of the
  * Replace the symbol by a single {{{c}}} letter
  * Replace the symbol by another word like {{{(c)}}}, {{{copyright}}}, ...

 This bug was produced on a fresh WordPress 3.1-RC4 instance.
