I have been working with a database recently that contained values with special characters. A lower case "n" with a tilde over it for instance. Anyway, during the conversion of the database from mysql to sqlite these special characters got corrupted. I ended up fixing them by hand since there weren't many, but during the process I realized these things:
1) My console does not print these characters, but empty box characters instead 2) I have no good way of entering these characters (that I know of) with my standard keyboard layout and language settings. So the obvious questions follow: 1) Can I somehow alter my console or add fonts so these characters are displayed properly 2) I ended up writing a perl program and giving it html entities to decode back to the special character and insert into the database, but this is very roundabout. How can I set my FreeBSD box up to be able to enter such characters manually? Thanks in advance for any assistance, Aaron _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
