I just had someone ask me why none of her files in Chinese, Japanese, etc. no longer show up in the correct character sets. Everything is UTF-8, and up until this morning, everything "worked right". She could, for example, more a file with Chinese characters and see it correctly, then more a file with Japanese characters and see it correctly. I would have assumed that something would have to change the LANG variable for that to work, but don't see how.
I have no idea how character encoding, character sets, etc. work. And I have no idea how to begin to find out. Where can I start to get some kind of understanding of how thise stuff works so I can try to figure this out? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
