well if they're using pre-mx cf then they had no choice but to use that. also some CJK folks were reluctant to use unicode because some people think unicode was some sort of western bid for control, that no CJK people were involved in unicode committees, etc. which is all complete nonsense. > When you say ''use unicode'' what exactly does that entail. using unicode encoding everywhere instead of codepage, etc. stuff. all your pages are UTF-8 & have a BOM and/or have cfprocessingdirective. all your form & url encoding is UTF-8. your db fully supports unicode datatypes (as jochem mentioned unicode is quite new to mysql, and i should point out, since i opened my yap about it, the 4.1 "release" is only alpha). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
