This might help, but I don't think I was clear. I have an online form.
My clients enter text into it. Their text has characters like a c with a
cedilla. That text gets saved into a PostgreSQL database (UTF-8) varchar
field via JPA/Hibernate.
Then I pull it back out and dump it into a template, and it comes out
gibberish. If I try using ç instead, I get ¸ back out.
Here is what I have:
"name" -> SHtml.text(thing.name, thing.name = _, ("size", "40"))
If I enter "cachaça" in the field, I get cachaça back out. The weird
thing is that sometimes when I copy and paste text from another document
into the form, it works. But if I use the keyboard, it fails every time.
I'll play around with this. Thanks.
Chas.
