We're collecting data from a remote website. Author names from this
website occasionally come in with umlauts, diacriticals and the like.
We'd like if at all possible to preserve this data or at worst, make
a reasonable conversion (e.g. umlauted u to u), but I'm having
trouble figuring out how to do this, since the character set I am
receiving from the remote server doesn't match the character set on
my Witango server. (Mac OS X)
That is, an umlaut on my setup would be ü but is coming through
from the remote server as ü
And would that data be different if the person receiving it was on a
Windows or *nix browser instead of a Mac browser? (To add to the
level of complexity!)
How do the experts out there handle this?
I tried to search the archives, but seemed to be lacking the magic
keywords to find anything I could use.
