Hello, I know this has been asked before! I have googled on this topic and I have looked at every answer, but I still don't get it. Basically I need to convert UTF-8 string to ISO-8859-1 and I do it using following code: Encoding iso = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1"); Encoding utf8 = Encoding.UTF8; string msg = iso.GetString(utf8....
I am confused about Windows BSTR's and WCHAR's, etc. WCHAR is a 16-bit character intended to allow for Unicode characters. What about characters that take more then 16-bits to represent? Some UTF-8 chars require more then that. Is this a limitation of Windows? Edit: Thanks for all the answers. I think I understand the Unicode aspec...
In the process of editing a file encoded as UTF-8 w/o [spurious] BOM the content might become devoid of any Unicode characters outside the ASCII or ANSI ranges. At the next reopening of the file, some text editors (Notepad++) will interpret it as ASCII/ANSI encoded and open it as such. Unaware of the change the user will continue editing...

I'm trying to remove LEFT-TO-RIGHT-MARK (\u200e) and RIGHT-TO-LEFT-MARK (\u200f) from a string before encoding it as JSON. Neither of the following seems to work: $s = mb_ereg_replace("\u200e", '', $s); $s = preg_replace("#\u200e#u", '', $s); $s = preg_replace("#\u200e#", '', $s); Any help is appreciated! ...
In MySQL, what is the difference between doing: SET NAMES 'utf8' And: SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8' I've taken a look at Connection Character Sets and Collations MySQL documentation page but I'm still a bit confused... Do both commands need to be issued in order to make MySQL UTF-8 aware? Or is SET NAMES enough? ...

When writing a custom string class that stores UTF-8 internally (to save memory) rather than UTF-16 from scratch is it feasible to some extent cache the relationship between byte offset and character offset to increase performance when applications use the class with random access? Does Perl do this kind of caching of character offset t...
When storing data in mysql using the UTF8 charset, does it make sense to escape entity characters when the data is being input or is it better to store it in raw form and transform it when pulling out? For instance, let's say someone enters a bullet () character into a text box. When saving that data, should it be converted to • b...
I would like all my toolkit to use UTF-8 but find that some tools on Windows seem to use CP1252 (which appears to be Windows-specific). Does this create output which is incompatible and if so at which codepoints? If so, can I do anything about it? (I don't completely understand the issues so I'd be grateful for basic education on these ...
When using the scala interpreter (i.e. running the command 'scala' on the commandline), I am not able to print unicode characters correctly. Of course a-z, A-Z, etc. are printed correctly, but for example € or ƒ is printed as a ?. print(8364.toChar) results in ? instead of €. Probably I'm doing something wrong. My terminal supports ut...

I'm looking for Java implementation of CSV (comma separated values) parser with proper handling of Unicode data, e.g. UTF-8 CSV files with Chinese text. I suppose such a parser should internally use code point related methods while iterating, comparing etc. Apache 2 license or similar would work the best. ...
