note afoken <blockquote>Now, my big question is (and it is one that I don’t know the answer to): does the UTF-8 character set support the German umlaut? </blockquote> <p>Sure it does. Unicode contains all characters available in ISO-8859-1, and ISO-8859-1 contains umlauts. I think it is quite safe to assume that Unicode [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode#Scripts_covered|supports nearly all written languages currently in use], and some ancient ones.</p> <p>Alexander</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-747201"> --<br> Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-) </div></div> 995425 995453
