Nope. Unicode is REPRESENTED in coldfusion / java as exactly two bytes of data (a hex value), period. However, what we're talking about here is RENDERING DBCS in a browser.
If you're using a character set that uses 7 bits for US ascii and the 8th for special characters, that's fine. But, if you're using a charset that utilizes the second byte, UTF8 will not be a suffiencent encoding and you'll have garbling on some characters. -Phillip -----Original Message----- From: Sixten Otto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 17, 2006 1:12 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Convert UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 under CF5 Phillip Holmes wrote: >Think of UTF-8,16, etc as the telephone line and the charset as the >conversation over it. >For DBCS(double byte character sets), you'll need UTF-16 (double byte >telephone line) to properly handle the charset. Huh? If that were true, how would you ever use UTF-8 to encode Unicode data? (Which is what it's generally used for; and Unicode actually has more than two bytes worth of characters now.)
