The majority of content on my company's website starts life as a Word document (Windows-1252 encoded) and is eventually copied-and-pasted into our UTF-8-encoded content management system. The conversion usually chokes on a few characters (special break characters, smart quotes, scientific notations) which have to be cleaned up manually, ...
I'm trying to make a small tool to help some guys converting data between a SAP installation and a Axapta installation. I get a text file i Western European (Windows) encoding (1252). They have put in some special chars to replace some Polish characters. Now it's my job to replace those special chars with the correct Polish characters. ...
EDIT: I've been convinced that this question is somewhat non-sensical. Thanks to those who responded. I may post a follow-up question that is more specific. Today I was investing some encoding problems and wrote this unit test to isolate a base repro case: int badCount = 0; for (int i = 1; i < 255; i++) { String str = "Hi " + ne...

When these files are read in and written to the response our CMS's framework forces a charset=UTF-8 on the response's content-type at...

I can write and read succesfully with php using this line: <?php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252'); ?> If I make a normal post everything works as expected, If I...
For our web app, we have multiple HTML pages containing text areas. All of our pages are rendered with an ISO-8859-1 charset. When the page is accessed through IE6 on a Windows machine and special characters such as a "smart quote" are copied in to the text area, some of our pages submit the page using the Windows 1252 character encodi...
