Lou,
We have done this. www.unboundbible.org many of the bible translations are
in unicode format. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc. Backend is SQL Server
7.0. The text is stored in the db in UTF8 everything has worked great.
A couple of issues:
JavaScript doesn't handle UTF8 so if you are using CF in combination with
JavaScript you will have problems.
Also just be careful with any text parsing you are doing. We had problems
with some custom tags like <CF_LessWhiteSpace> in the way they remove spaces
and other characters that are actually part of an encoding pair.
>From my experience your biggest issue will not be CF it will be the
browsers. We are making our site available to IE, Netscape for both the PC
and the MAC. Every combination of platform and browser seemed to handle the
encodings differently. However if you have a more limitted audience things
should go well.
If you have any more specific questions feel free to ask me off the list.
Good Luck,
Mark
