Issue Log
The weird characters also appear in the database. Apparently, the script replacing these characters from their DBLP variant (&…;) was not loaded correctly. The script worked fine earlier (http://researchr.org/alias/mauricio-alf%C3%A9rez), so my guess is that it has something to do with the way the script is loaded. I had trouble with this before. Will look into this, probably use escapes and correct the values in the database.
the problem persists; hope that it will be possible to fix already converted publications

I can fix both the DBLP data as well as regular publication data. It takes a significant effort to set up the script, since all weird characters need to be matched against their correct (escaped) counterpart and there is quite a long list of special characters. But once done, I can reuse the script to fix any set of values in the database.
