More and more MYSQL seems to be heading into needing to set your table into the necessary language set. Some people suggest leaving it in Latin has better performance etc, but I have been putting the data into UTF-8 tables for compatibility, this seems to be the cleanest when using MYSQL dumps and moving data to use the data in other locations without all the characters getting screwed up.
But if you want to keep it in Latin you can, but I suggest not to. Cheers Richard On Dec 9, 11:06 am, Will <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rails 2.x handles all text as UTF-8 by default.
