UTF-8 multilingual form input


  • Subject: UTF-8 multilingual form input

Hi everybody,

we have an application with UTF-8 HTML encoding where we input multilingual form data (Czech, Polish, English, German, Slovenian, Russian, Bulgarian, Turkish, etc.). This works in almost every case. It _always_ works for cyrillic input and in most cases, for all other languages.

However, in some cases, special latin characters in some languages are not displayed correctly. In these cases, the string values are already stored in the database in the wrong manner.

The strange thing about this is that this is not always reproducible - certain special characters (such as accented characters in slawic languages) are sometimes stored correctly and sometimes not. For that reason, I cannot be more specific here...

The browsers used for the input are Safari and Firefox on the Mac. Both browsers behave identically in cases where the input is not stored correctly. The application itself is deployed on OS X, the database we use is Frontbase.

Any general hints?

Thanks.

Ralph
