#20503: Special Z characters are either erased or mis-substituted

 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Formatting    |    Version:  3.3.1
 Severity:  major         |   Keywords:  has-patch
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Function convert_chars defined in wp-includes/formatting.php and used in
 many filters in wp-includes/default-filters.php does not handle two
 characters properly.

 The subjects are two special Z characters: "Ž" and "ž".

 convert_chars performs the following replacements:

 {{{
         $wp_htmltranswinuni = array(
 ...
         'Ž' => 'ž',
 ...
         'ž' => '',
 ...
 }}}

 This lower-cases "Ž" to "ž" and also erases "ž".

 Instead, the code should be as follows:

 {{{
         $wp_htmltranswinuni = array(
 ...
         'Ž' => 'Ž',
 ...
         'ž' => 'ž',
 ...
 }}}
