Some UTF-8 testing

Hmmm. Looks like Thai, looks like Vietnamese...doesn't look like Arabic.

Let's try some more languages in Unicode, see if they've fixed the problem:

русский язык (Russian)
ქართული ენა (Georgian)
普通话 (Mandarin Chinese)

Hmm Some other languages;
شسيبشسيب شسيب شسيبيبش نر،ونتهنرو.: Real Arabic
苦工木大: Chinese
ÖÄÜ*Ö: German
ㅣ ㅣㄱㅉㅂ며ㅐㅔ: Korean

Can you tell us how you are entering non-ASCII text? It's not the same system as on the old TT!!

Fine it works:
العربى
İşte Türkçe

Looks like you have to force your browser to be using UTF-8 encoding before you post.

The problem, besides having to manually set your browser encoding, is that all non-ASCII characters need to be encoded. In the past, the Western European letters from Latin-1 were acceptable input. So to type ñ é etc., you need to know the character codes, which is a nuisance.

I'm completely baffled as to why your non-ASCII characters are coming through and mine are not. Browser defaults to UTF-8, but still nothing comes through...Any ideas???

On ne peut pas écrire en français ici. Peut-être bientôt? La grève continue.

zashibis - What browser are you using? Are you certain that automatic detection is turned off? That might cause a problem.

Kerouac2 - To use any accented character these days, you need to know the codes. In the old TT, Western European characters were accepted. You no longer have that luxury.

We always used to use codes like &amp#305; to represent these kinds of characters.
&amp#294; = Ħ
&amp#305; = ı
&amp#01588; = ش
&amp#01329; = Ա

Now you have to use them for Western Europe's accented letters too. I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually. It's bit of a hassle at the moment.

Auto-detect is, indeed, off. And I've now tried it in both Firefox (my standard) and Explorer (which I loathe). Wtf!

Let me try in Firefox.

Ħ = Ħ
ı = ı
⥜ = ش

It works... Are you sure you are typing in exactly: Ħ ?

PS. Once you type something in, you can't edit it again without putting in the codes again!
