This may have been brought up before in regards to writing reviews for a title, but while it is convenient to type free text right on the page in the box provided the page does not save when navigating away--like accidentally hitting the "back" button for instance. I'd like to recommend a pop up box or other function that either asks if you would like to leave this page AND/OR somehow save entered information instead of the user having to redo his work after losing it all by mistake. Hope that makes sense, thank you for looking into it.

At least until IMDb accepts Unicode for all updates, I would recommend using a plain text editor. Notepad is included with Windows, and I am certain there are equivalents for Macs or for Linux.
Doing this gives you the safety you require, but without the problems special characters can cause.
I currently sometimes have problems of my browser going Back on its own, and I lose data in large text fields. I often use Notepad, but because it is stable, I don't even bother to save. Just enter the data, copy, paste, and once the form is submitted, close Notepad without saving the data.
