Reading David Griffith's struggle with the euro sign, I thought checking myself if that worked in my test application.
What I did was: go to a textfield in a form, then (on a mac) press shift and alt key, and go over the keyboard from 1 in the upper left to / in the lower right.
Save the stuff, or do something with it, like going to a next form or back or whatever.
Interestingly, it Seems that some characters are not picked up by the UTF-8, while others are.
These are the results in Safari:
⁄€‹›fifl‡°·‚—±Œ„´‰ˇÁ¨ˆØ∏”’ÅÍÎÏ˝ÓÔÒÚÆ»`¸˛Ç◊ı˜Â¯˘¿
Here in Firefox:
⁄€‹›fifl‡°··‚—±Œ„´‰ˇÁ¨ˆØ∏”’ÅÍÎÏ˝ÓÔÒÚÆ»¸˛Ç◊ı˜Â¯˘¿
This is WebObjects 5.4.3, latest wonder, OS X 10.5.8 latest security updates
Can anyone explain to me why that is?
(I hope the mailserver does not screw up).
