Good day,
We are busy with an investigation regarding the Character encoding problem
we're experiencing on DSpace at UP (University of Pretoria).
We have been experiencing difficulty using the special characters in DSpace,
more specifically we battled to use some of the mathematical characters due
to the overall system standard at UP being ISO8859 (Latin 1).
We wanted to test some scenario's yesterday but then suddenly we encountered
the following problem.
We completed the submission form (used pi - π, copy & pasted into the fields
from Word). When we got to the 'Verify Submission' screen it displayed the
numeric entity π and not the 'π' character that we pasted into the
fields.
We thereafter performed a search using 3 different ways when searching
UPSpace:
1st search:
We used the character entity π in the Search UPSpace on the left hand
side of the screen and it displayed as 'π' on the right hand side of the
screen.
The search results were different and the 2 new articles we created that
displayed as π in the Article Title field did not appear in the result
list.
2nd Search:
We used the Numeric Entity π in the Search UPSpace on the left hand side
of the screen and it automatically changed to 'π' on the right hand side of
the screen.
We found the 2 new articles we created that displayed as π in the
Article Title field.
3rd Search:
We used 'π' in the Search UPSpace on the left hand side of the screen and it
displayed as 'π' on the right hand side of the screen.
We found the 2 new articles we created that displayed as π in the
Article Title field.
Have any of you experienced this problem before? It now seems to be a
display problem more than a character encoding problem?
Your response would be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Henriette Crafford
