Yahoo AddressBook Unicode Characters


Recently I met a very mystic and weird problem when I used Yahoo AddressBook to manage my friend contacts with Firefox2: I set the page encoding to UTF-8 to input some Asian characters. During the input, everything was fine, but after I saved it and viewed it, Asian characters became something like ₷30&#32110.... Obviously something went wrong. Then I tried Opera9 browser, the same thing happened. Then I switched to Windows and tried windows version of Firefox and Opera, the same problem. At last, I tried IE6 and IE7, the problem was gone! Then I used Firefox and Opera to try the Yahoo Notepad in both linux and windows, everything was fine!

So it seems that Yahoo Notepad has no compatibility problem at all, but Yahoo AddresBook can work correctly only in windows IE, but none of Firefox and Opera. Anyone met similar problem? How to solve this annoying bugs??? Many thanks!
