I ask because that same page had previously been updated on 2019-05-05 and there were no RSS updates between them, so I'm curious as to whether RSS readers might have suppressed what might appear to be a "duplicate"

It looks like phpMyAdmin, MySQL, PHP and RSS collectively have some kind of bananas encoding issue which prevented me from putting the proper accents in the <title> field of that last new RSS <item>, so it says "Ara Orun" when it should say "Ará Orún"

It's staggering how muddled and ill-explained all of these issues are. No combination of escapes I could find could make this thing work. As far as I can tell, MySQL literally doesn't have a way to escape Unicode in a string literal
