90minuteAPI

About 2 weeks I tried to file a bug with our backend guys about 4-byte characters wreaking havoc on our API.
My example broke the bug tracker's (bugzilla) comment system as well. I chuckled.

Yeah. We've noticed, to our own amusement, that Jira (we're on an older version) can't handle non-ASCII. Makes entering tickets involving other languages fun.

I assume Bugzilla broke due to being backed by MySQL. Bugzilla itself is written in Perl so should have no problem.

At my last job I checked in a test case for our astral character handling. And broke the build server.
