Recently I came across a situation where, while using a double-byte language, I had to enter the charset as a metatag. Previously I had thought that the globalization tag in the web.config would handle the page charset, but this seems not to be the case. Is there a way to set charset in the web.config or a way to set the charset of an ...

Code as follows: <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf8" /> But when I browse the page using IE, it still uses its default charset, which is not utf8. And the page becomes normal only after I set the character set to utf8 manually. Why the HTML failed to inform browser of its character set? It's on local f...

Running the SQL query 'set ...

I have played unsuccessfully with utf8_(en|de...

Hi there, the "problem" is that I do have an ASP.NET TextBox in a FormView with its Text property bound to a database table field. In some cases, there might be HTML-code combined with normal text in the database. The RequestEncoding and ResponseEncoding is set to "iso-8859-1" (whitch is latin1).

How would this detection behave if texts belonging to different character sets are pasted in a text box? ...
Some UTF-8 characters like the UTF-8 equivalent of C2 96 (hyphen). On the browser it displays it as (utf box with 00 96). And not as '-'(hyphen). Any reasons for this behavior? How do we correct this? http://stuffofinterest.com/misc/utf8.php?s=128 (Refer this URL for the codes) I found that this can be handled with html entities. Is...

Hello, On my Linux server I have some files with accented names (test-éàïù.zip). When I add them to a new ZIP file using 7zip command-line tool, the charset/encoding information is not saved and when opened on a Windows computer, the archive does not correctly display filenames.

I have a file with some accents, and VIM displays them as "~V" characters. The "od -bc" command tells me the characters are charcode 226. I want to substitute them using VIM. But I can't get it to match the characters. How can I achieve that? Optional question: how can I have VIM tell me which charset is used to interpret the current fi...

I'm reading from a binary file and want to convert the bytes to US ASCII strings. Is there any way to do this without calling new on String to avoid multiple semantically equal String objects being created in the normal object pool? I'm thinking that it is probably not possible since introducing String objects using double quotes is not ...
