Have I got that all the right way round? Anyway, I am parsing a lot of html, but I don't always know what encoding it's meant to be (a surprising number lie about it).

PowerShell $OutputEncoding defaults to ASCII. PowerShell by default represents strings in Unicode. When I create scripts using the ISE, they are created in Unicode. The following command sends text to a file in Unicode: echo Testing > test.txt When I push these files to GitHub, the code view chokes on them because they aren't UTF-8...
Hi there, I am trying to read an RSS feed using C# and Linq to XML. The feed is encoded in utf-8 (see http://pc03224.kr.hsnr.de/infosys/feed/) and reading it out generally works fine except for the description node because it is enclosed in a CDATA section. For some reason I can't see the CDATA tag in the debugger after reading out th...

This page http://www.python.org/doc/2.6/library/codecs.html?highlight=cp1250#id3 lists all the encodings that python can encode to. Rather than copy & paste that, is there some way to get a list of available encodings that I can iterate over? ...

I'm not talking about reading in the file content in utf-8 or non-utf-8 encoding and stuff. It's about file names. Usually I save my Perl script in the system default encoding, "GB2312" in my case and I won't have any file open problems. But for processing purposes, I'm now having some Perl script files saved in utf-8 encoding. The probl...

Ruby will not play nice with UTF-8 strings. I am passing data in an XML file and although the XML document is specified as UTF-8 it treats the ascii encoding (two bytes per character) as individual characters. I have started encoding the input strings in the '\uXXXX' format, however I can not figure out how to convert this to an actual...
