Select article by id instead of title?

[Sven]

Hello.

Is there a way to select the article to be rendered (by mw-render) by the id element
instead of the title element?

If this is not possible, what is the recommended way to pass titles with special characters to
mw-render?

Thanks for your time.

IMHO that's not possible.

mw-render assumes command line arguments are utf-8 encoded. You should
be able to copy & paste titles from your web browser. $LANG must
probably be set for that to work. I've set $LANG to en_US.UTF-8, and
it's working for me.
