Multi Language Support - Special Characters

Post by zoltalar »

Hello,

I'm creating web based interface that supports 3 languages: English, Spanish and French. Is it necessary to use iconv / mbstring / recode_string() to display special language characters if the language string messages are written in UTF-8? or can I just use echo()? :banghead:

Thanks,

if you want, you can use htmlentities. Note that WYSIWYG editors like TinyMCE also handle special characters quite well.
