Hi all,
I'm looking for a good source to help me understand character sets and how to
use them. I pretty much know nothing about this - the whole world of Unicode,
ASCII, octal, UTF-8, etc. is baffling to me.
My immediate issue is that I think I need to integrate data from a variety of

So, character encodings are really confusing, even for those who have
dealt with them before. I'm not sure if there is a good 'dealing with
character encodings for dummies' book, but if there is, I think I could
use it too!

So it seems we had a few hiccups with registrations. It should be

Great suggestions so far--I have just one thing to add.
If you ever reach the point at which you find yourself examining code tables to
figure out what character set something is using, you might also want to find a
good hex editor so that you can examine your data byte by byte. Since

You may find a reason to create a normalized stealth field, but I have a
couple of suggestions that will probably help you avoid that scenario.

Hi Yitzchak,
I've been pretty happy with using BitBucket [1] to host Mercurial
repositories. It doesn't have Trac, but it does have it's own decently
featured issue tracker, commit log viewer, and wiki system. The free
plan is generous enough for you to get started.

Also, Google Code offers both HG and SVN support.

I have several projects there (although haven't used Mercurial) and
certainly find it a lot less frustrating than admin'ing Trac.
