In fact, there's no valid reason to not use utf-8. However, in particular in windows french, there are still a lot of software which don't manage well with utf-8. Same thing with some web provider which still provide some database blocked on cp 1252 (windows encoding). There is some historic reasons for web-apps (really difficult to use utf-8 before mysql 4 and php 5). So it can be sometimes really difficult to manage with utf-8 depending of the context!
But we agree, utf-8 is the best to use! Le 29 oct. 2010 à 20:40, Greg Brown a écrit : > Good to know.
