Uh oh
uh oh is right
theoretically yes
But once we figure out server load and design issues, we'll fix internationalization.
Those question marks were Hankaku taken from http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/paulgor/utf8-jap.htm
Can I ask follow-up questions?
Like: what does it support, if not UTF-8?
sort of... you can do it here
what is the reason that some typographical symbols, like the dash (%u2014), get screwed up in emails and in web pages?
Same reason: different languages use different character sets
meaning:
Whoops
different symbols are stored using different schemes
one "standard" is ascii, which uses numbers to correspond to letters fo the roman alphabet
but for languages like cyrillic or kanji, you need a much larger table (more numbers) to correspond to all the different symbols
so if your computer, or web browser, or email isn't configured to display them correctly, then you see funny marks
But UTF-8 can display everything properly?
