foreign language special characters and encoding.
This topic regarding the web browse and e-mail etc.
As I understood, to make your foreign language special characters readable
1) when you write the text, you have to use a popular encoding system and popular language and fonts package IN THAT LANGUAGE. So your text may be readable by the most clients IN THAT LANGUAGE.
2) if the client has the most langauge fonts and encoing package set up IN THAT LANGUAGE, he will be able to read the most sites in that language.
3) But if the clients doesn't have the lanague package or the fonts package you use, he may have problem reading your text (either web or email), specailly some strange characters.
4) You can use the unicode, so if the clients support unicode, then we know the client can read your text for sure.
5) But if the client does not support unicode, then still he may have the problem to read your code.
6) So may last questions are, should I use the Unicode or should I use non-unicode? It depends on the situations, languages you are talking about etc. So any one wants to share the experience and thoughts, solutions about that. Because I am raising the questions in general concepts.
7) Any codes/functions/set ups we can use dealing with the language encoding in php?
Thanks!
