If there is such a beast, I'd love to hear about it too. I don't use Unicode, but do a fair bit of work with Big5 (A chinese character code which Unicode may eventually replace).
I keep several "databases" of big5 script, used to compose character strings (mainly for the names of actors in Hong Kong movies). *Warning about Word/Wordpad* - they don't properly STORE all big5 codes - and, by implication, some Unicodes could suffer the same fate. The problem seems to be some base-level character-conversion built into Word. Therefore, to be sure, I keep some characters in Notepad and Excel, which do preserve the proper characters in all cases. The moment you copy stuff in our out of Word, the risk is that some will not be preserved. > I have a problem when our users paste text out of Word or Wordpad, or = > any other unicode compliant text editor, into a text area and it gets = > saved into our non-unicode compliant database. > I've got a script that fixes the characters that I'm aware of (mainly = > single and double quotes), but I'm worried that there will be other = > characters that will be similarly treated that I haven't thought of yet. > Does anyone know of a routine or snippet that does this type of = > conversion?
