language character support - very important for me

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

language character support - very important for me

Post by Ree »

this question has been bugging me for a long time actually. can i make special language characters appear online without using those &#some_integer; things? i am mainly interested in my own language actually, Lithuanian, which falls into Windows-1257 Baltic charset. when i use non-standard chars in my PHP code ("ą", "š") in my text editor (Edit Plus) and upload the file to the server and check it online, i see either ?'s or any other totally weird chars, shortly - not the ones i used. i tried different things - using Edit Plus' built-in converter (when saving file), i also indicate charset in the file itself (content="text/html; charset=windows-1257") - still won't work. any guys of you could help me here? or will i have to keep replacing chars with html &#stuff; all my remaining life?
