Hi guys! I just added a small hack to view UTF-8-encoded quotation marks. Yes, it's a mistery to me why someone would want to serve pages in english, encoded in UTF-8 instead of Latin1. ...but you may find some as this one: http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0422/040602_news_microsoft.php Please let me know if you know of more pages like this one, or if you know the rationale for preferring UTF-8 over latin1 when the latter is enough. Cheers Jorge.-
Hi,
Please let me know if you know of more pages like this one, or if you know the rationale for preferring UTF-8 over latin1 when the latter is enough.
Well, I guess it's the 'pretty' quotes they use on the webpage. Those curly quotes are not part of your normal latin1 character set, but are part of UTF-8 (and also Windows-1252 IIRC). It's also useful when display foreign names in your articles; see for example the site of a client of ours: http://www.codart.nl/ -- they use a lot of non-English names and titles there.
