Re: OT Re: [WSG] UTF-8
Yes, but the bytes used in ISO 8859-1 (Latin1) or Windows code page and those usef for UTF-8 are different. Sure, however the mail came in Latin1 (see the headers), so I just want to comment that it won't show the difference. -- Jan Brasna aka JohnyB :: www.alphanumeric.cz | www.janbrasna.com ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **

In Latin1 encoding å is a single byte: E5; whereas UTF-8 represents this as two bytes: C3 A5. So the fact that you are seeing it indicates that the system recognised the Unicode encoding :-) RI PS: You may find my Unicode converter a useful play tool for this kind of thing. It's a bit rough and ready, but it's useful. http://people.w3.org/rishida/scripts/uniview/conversion.en.html Richard Ishida W3C contact info: http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/ W3C Internationalization: http://www.w3.org/International/ Publication blog: http://people.w3.org/rishida/blog/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
