Is it just me or did anyone else open this thread expecting a very different subject?
Well, I had doubted about using the word “characters” but it really was the best title I could come up with. I never imagined I would cause such confusion, though. Gave me a good laugh to start the day!
And yes, UTF-8 would be the natural thing to use, for me too, but that is perhaps different in different environments.
Why not use UTF-8 for all strings / database tables?
In theory at least, we do.
If we’re given specific cases of specific characters we can look into them. Please provide the UTF8 code from a page like this:
http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl
and state which code it is you’re using.
Thanks.

had to be removed of course)
Here’s the first one:
ŝ
and the second:
Ŝ
Ok, so looks like it’s fixed. Fill your boots…

I do not think David’s latest “message” was in Czech – are you SO far out?
