So why did they decide against unicode??? Shouldn't that be the standard? Quick question (vaguely off topic?) re. encoding: The situation: We have a database (at the moment either SQL Server 2000 or DB2) with non-ascii data included (Spanish and French characters, mainly). We have to serve XML pages from this, and are using jsp and tomcat 4.0 to do so. The pages generate correctly, but are not visible using M$ IE 5.x/6.0 if the encoding is set to UTF-8. If we set the encoding to ISO8859 it all works fine. Why? Is this a problem with IE5? Or what? (And out of interest, what encoding is used in each stage?)
