For pages already specified (either by HTTP header, or by meta tag), to have a Content-Type with a UTF-8 charset... is there a benefit of adding accept-charset="UTF-8" to HTML forms? (I understand the accept-charset attribute is broken in IE for ISO-8859-1, but I haven't heard of a problem with IE and UTF-8. I'm just asking if there's a...
Hi guys. I have a simple question that I can't find anywhere over the internet, how can I convert UTF-8 to ASCII (mostly accented characters to the same character without accent) in C using only the standard lib? I found solutions to most of the languages out there, but not for C particularly. Thanks! EDIT: Some of the kind guys that c...
I'm trying to store a Gzip serialized object into Active Directory's "Extension Attribute", more info here. This field is a Unicode string according to it's oM syntax of 64. What is the most efficient way to store a binary blob as Unicode? Once I get this down, the rest is a piece of cake. ...
Using ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3 I get an encoding error when I try to run this in seeds.rb: Fixtures.create_fixtures("#{Rails.root}/db/seed", "countries") I am sure the .csv file is encoded in UTF-8 and it can be read and parsed using ruby's CSV class. Is this a Rails 3 encoding issue with fixtures? ...
Scenario You have lots of XML files stored as UTF-16 in a Database or on a Server where space is not an issue. You need to take a large majority of these files that you need to get to other systems as XML Files and it is critical that you use as little space as you can. Issue In reality only about 10% of the files stored as UTF-16 ne...
I am helping a client convert their Perl flat-file bulletin board site from ISO-8859-1 to Unicode. Since this is my first time, I would like to know if the following "checklist" is complete. Everything works well in testing, but I may be missing something which would only occur at rare occasions. This is what I have done so far (forgiv...
Through this forum, I have learned that it is not a good idea to use the following for converting CGI input (from either an escape()d Ajax call or a normal HTML form post) to UTF-8: read (STDIN, $_, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}); s{%([a-fA-F0-9]{2})}{ pack ('C', hex ($1)) }eg; utf8::decode $_; A safer way (which for example does not allow bog...
When printing a formatted string with a fixed length (e.g, %20s), the width differs from UTF-8 string to a normal string: >>> str1="Adam Matan" >>> str2="אדם מתן" >>> print "X %20s X" % str1 X Adam Matan X >>> print "X %20s X" % str2 X אדם מתן X Note the difference: X Adam Matan X X אדם מתן X Any i...
Hi, I'm trying to insert into XML column (SQL SERVER 2008 R2), but the server's complaining: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): XML parsing: line 1, character 39, unable to switch the encoding I found out that the XML column has to be UTF-16 in order for the insert to succeed. The code I'm using is: XmlSerializer se...
Rails appears to be converting the ampersand at the beginning of the utf-8 entity to an HTML entity: & So ▲ becomes &#x25B2; but I would like to display a downward arrow instead, which is what the utf-8 entity would normally be. I'm using Rails 2.3.8 and Ruby 1.8.7. Here is what the view looks like: <%= get_arrow_fro...
I'm playing with bash, experiencing with utf-8 encoding. I'm new to unicode. The following command (well, their output) surprises me : $ locale LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL= ...
On the following line: alert ( "Apenas os números 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 e 9 são permitidos." ); it prints like this: Apenas os n?meros 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 e 9 s?o permitidos.

My Win32/MFC program builds up a list of names, sorting them alphabetically as it puts them into the list. When it supported only ASCII strings, this worked by a simple char-by-char string comparison. But now that I want to accept UTF-8 strings, I need a more complex scheme since --for example -- all forms of the letter "a" should be equ...

I wrote the following code (also encoded as utf8): $allowed_letters=array("...
Hi! The file in question is not under my control. Most byte sequences are valid UTF-8, it is not ISO-8859-1 (or an other encoding). I want to do my best do extract as much information as possible. The file contains a few illegal byte sequences, those should be replaces with the replacement character. It's not an easy task, it think it...
