There have been a lot of questions here about how to store, sort, etc. various special characters and alphabets in MySQL internally. Maybe this isn't really a MySQL question, but I'd like to know how to deal with such characters over a Web interface.
I have a database of books that's accessed entirely over the Web via Perl interfaces. I have assorted special characters, typically accented vowels or things of that straightforward nature; sometimes there are en-dashes or em-dashes. What's the best way to work with these? I need to accept input from people running a potentially wide variety of systems, store the data in some way, and display them back on the Web. I'd think this would be a common requirement, but what I've been able to find in the manual discusses the internal storage only. Thanks.
