There is wikiutil.decodeUnknownInput (or similar), but that's about all we can do if we have no encoding information.

I can confirm this bug, my users found it yesterday ...

UnicodeDecodeError
'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x84 in position 12: unexpected code byte
    * args = ('utf8', 'Brompropions\x84uremethylester BA.pdf', 12, 13, 'unexpected code byte')
    * encoding = 'utf8'
    * end = 13
    * message = ''
    * object = 'Brompropions\x84uremethylester BA.pdf'
    * reason = 'unexpected code byte'
    * start = 12

Is there any way to fix the page (delete the broken attachment, etc.), as it doesn't render anymore...?

• I fixed it, by renaming the attachment in the data/pages/<pagename>/attachments/ folder (it had a broken unicode character in the filename)
