html charset
I'm building a multilanguage site.
Is there one charset that I can use for every language?
Thank you.
Simon.

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure. I don't think so if you are using two byte character sets like Big5 though. You may have some luck with UTF encoding though.

Maybe someone else has more experience here?

Cheers,

Alex

Unicode sounds like the way to go but am I limiting my accessability (OS and browser wise)?? I will be targeting users in their own language with a local version of their OS and browser (e.g Japanese with Japanese version of Win/Mac and Japanese version of IE/Netscape, etc.) so they should have the required fonts.
From my point of view (webpage developer) I need to deal with a language file that contains multiple languages and the only way I think that I can display and work with them all without displaying ???? is to have the file in unicode.
Thank you.
Simon.

PS: Alex, can Links SQL and DBMan SQL handle Unicode in the SQL table, script, etc. ????
