Just another couple of ideas:

Regarding (4) below, If your project doesn't use Wonder, then in your Application constructor, do this:
        WOMessage.setDefaultEncoding("UTF8");

Regarding (5), if you're using HTML 4.01 Transitional, then it might look something like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
etc.

Hi Johan,

Just a short checklist that I can think of... Don't forget:

1) The database needs to be storing values in UTF-8. If it isn't, then all your effort is wasted :) For MySQL that means a db url like

jdbc:mysql://localhost/Example? capitalizeTypenames=true&zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull&characterE ncoding=UTF-8

And setting your default charset and collation in your my.cnf file.

2) Different fonts may not have all the characters to display the different characters. If you're using a default stylesheet, then the browsers may be displaying differently simply because of fonts. Speaking of stylesheets, you probably want to encode that in UTF-8 also. Start your stylesheet with something like

@charset "UTF-8";
@import url("reset.css");

/* Begin site CSS */


3) Set eclipse encoding<Screen shot 2009-11-12 at 7.49.36 AM.png>
4) Use Wonder. Set encoding in the properties file
# Project Encoding
er.extensions.ERXApplication.DefaultEncoding=UTF-8

5) Set encoding in the page wrapper
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
    "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0 plus SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/2002/04/xhtml-math-svg/xhtml-math-svg- flat.dtd">

6) Localizable.strings should be encoded in UTF-16

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Anyone have more? Perhaps we should put up a wiki page just for project encoding since it seems to be something a lot of people stumble on.

Reading David Griffith's struggle with the euro sign, I thought checking myself if that worked in my test application.

What I did was: go to a textfield in a form, then (on a mac) press shift and alt key, and go over the keyboard from 1 in the upper left to / in the lower right.

Save the stuff, or do something with it, like going to a next form or back or whatever.

Interestingly, it Seems that some characters are not picked up by the UTF-8, while others are.

These are the results in Safari:

Here in Firefox:

This is WebObjects 5.4.3, latest wonder, OS X 10.5.8 latest security updates

Can anyone explain to me why that is?

(I hope the mailserver does not screw up).
