You got it right. When HTML encodings are used, the entries display
correctly independantly of the encoding. When true characters are used,
we face problems.
More concretely, if you are using mozilla firefox :
1- set your page encoding to UTF-8, when you post an entry it will be
sent in UTF-8.
2- set your page encoding to iso-8859-1, you will be sending HTML entities.
If you are using IE, find a solution and share it with us. :)
You mean this is a feature/(?) on Firefox specifically to convert text outside
the iso-8859-1 characters to UTF-8 and it's not available in IE?
Maybe we should vote for one solution and ask all contributors to
stick
to it.
What's the econding of the data stored on the MySQL database?
