  I have been using the RSS Widget to display a feed which consists of the Recent movies i have seen from the IMDB Top 250 list . This is the feed url http://www.250films.net/rss/01553.xml . There were no problems, the feed was working fine showing the recent movies i have seen until i ticked a movie called Léon . The special character é in its name , has appeared in the rss file as &eacute and so Léon is written as Léon . So the RSS widget is creating problems now and it always shows ‘Feed Down’ . I have even tried to reduce the number of items displayed but in vain . At first i thought this was the feed error and contacted the site admin of 250films.net . But i checked the feed and it’s perfectly displaying in Google Reader, iGoogle etc. . So Google is able to parse the file but not WP RSS Widget . Kindly look into this . For this reason , i am avoiding seeing movies with French Special Characters nowadays :P . Help me out .

  Sorry , &eacute got auto converted as é in the prev post. So actually Léon is shown as L&eacute[semicolon]on.
