Hi
I'd like to be able to input pinyin and Big5 Chinese characters into mysql using Jive
discussion forum software, e.g. I would input both English and Chinese into the same
field.
After reading some past postings I understand that I only need to load Chinese
language support if I want to do sorting/searching, and that it's okay to leave mysql
using the default Latin language set if I use a UI capable of inputting and reading
Chinese [running on English Linux OS].
I copied and pasted some Chinese text [from a word doc sent by someone from China]
into my HTML form and posted to the database, the text remained as Chinese characters
in the text box before posting. On pulling the data back from the database it is all
garbage???
Would someone be kind enough to offer some advice please on what I'm doing wrong and
corrective action???
Thanks in advance, Hong.
