Where do you see that weird characters, i looked at the page and didn't see those characters

Checking the PKGBUILD, it is "funky" as reported, because its encoding is "UTF-8 withouth Byte-Order-Mark (BOM)". It's close enough that e.g. the website can handle it in UTF-8, but not perfect as the RSS feed reader shows it wrong. The best solution would be remaking the package in proper UTF-8 and updating it (since it is out of date, it would be a good idea anyway).

This is, however a good reminder that there should be an UTF-8 conversion or check at upload to get rid of such problems that keep showing up at other parts of the site....
