Comment:

 Here's a patch to get around any `%e2%80` constructions like:

 {{{
 %e2%80
 %e2%80test
 %e2%80%
 %e2%80%93
 %e2%80%94
 %e2%80%943
 %e2%80%3
 %e2%80%94slug
 my%e2%80%94slug
 my%e28094slug
 my%e2%80%A8slug
 ...
 }}}

 While I think the regex itself is quite robust, this needs testing to fit
 well into the `sanitize_title_with_dashes` function, but I hope it helps
 on the way
