I just upgraded from Emacs 21.2 to 23.2 (on Windows XP) and while I managed to tweak my .emacs to fit the new changes, I couldn't find a solution for the unreadable buffer names: Neither in the minibuffer, nor in the buffer menu can the characters be displayed normally. Instead, all I see are the infamous Unicode blank rectangles. Any ...

Hey guys, I have an iPhone app with thousands of users. Stuff they type goes into my database. I noticed an infrequent crash recently, and tracked it down to a piece of code failing when it had to deal with this character "…" (that's one character, not three dots).

I'm using an '&' symbol with HTML5 and UTF-8 in my site's <title>. Google shows the ampersand fine on its SERPs, as do all the browsers in their titles. http://validator.w3.org is giving me this: & did not start a character reference. (& probably should have been escaped as &.) Do I really need to do &? I'm not fussed abo...

I'm trying to understand what the input requirements are for base64 encoding. Nicholas Zakas, who I have tremendous respect for has an article here where he quotes a specification that an error should be thrown if input contains any character with a code higher than 255 Zakas Article on base64 Before even attempting to base64 encode ...
currently we are using following commands in PHP to set the character set to UTF8 in our application. Since this is a bit of overhead, we'd like to set this as the default setting in mysql. Can we do this in /etc/my.cnf or in another location? SET NAMES 'utf8' SET CHARACTER SET utf8 I've looked for a default charset in /etc/my.cnf b...
Put simply, I have a set of special characters in a Sql Server database varchar column, and I want to fetch it from a C# application.

Wikipedia says Base64 encoding schemes are commonly used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with textual data. This is to ensure that the data remains intact without modification during transport. But is it not that data is always stored/transmitted i...
