Hello,

We write today to share a bug for a problem which was brought up in the share.ez.no forums: http://share.ez.no/forums/developer/extract-returns-garbage-when-result-contains-special-chars

It seems that we found several template operators like the extract, extract_right and extract_left which are not utf8 string friendly.

Steps to reproduce

Edit a default execution template like, pagelayout.tpl

Add tpl code to the above template, save your changes and clear all caches,

{"Håmel"|extract(1,1)}

Reload the page and notice that the output of the extract template operator is a garbage character and not the extracted contents of the passed utf8 template operator input string.

The above code should return "å". But instead it returns a garbage char (�).

We are preparing a PR to address the underlying issue and solve this problem.

Cheers,
