Bot operated by Konstable to replace special HTML characters with their appropriate Unicode, using the existing functionality in AWB. The bot is run fully automatically; however I, Konstable, will not leave it by itself and will constantly keep an eye on it to make sure there are no problems with it.
Unicodifying has the benefit of making it easier to read the source code of the articles with foreign-language characters, and hence it makes them easier to edit. Though some older browsers do not support Unicode fully, the current MediaWiki software can detect this automatically and give those older browsers the special HTML characters corresponding to the Unicode. So all articles that are unicodified will still be displayed correctly on any browser that was able to display them in them in the older HTML special character format.
