Would it be possible solving this issue using UTF-8? When using UTF-8
these charachters apperas as question marks.


Are you sure that you are using the correct octets for UTF-8? If each
character only takes one octet then you're probably storing the data
as ISO-8859-1 or -15, e.g.,

a" ä E4
e" ë EB
i" ï EF
o" ö F6
u" ü FC
A" Ä C4
E" Ë CB
I" Ï CF
O" Ö D6
U" Ü DC

Hi! I had Apache 2.0.47 and PHP 4.3.0 DEV running successfully on a W2k Server. For some reason, I couldn't get PHP to read XML-Attributes with the DOM XML -functions. So I thought, it would be time to update PHP to a newer version. So I simply replaces the old php-files with the new ones and of course kept the php.ini. But now, PHP doesn't work anymore. As soon as I request a page with php code, I get a "document contains no data"...

Hi, I would like to use a regular expression like "\\w+" to extract the values "red" "green" and "blue" from the expression "red;green;blue". That works fine just until a german umlaut like "ü" is in the expression. Is there a possibility to make the java.util.regex.Matcher work properly with german umlauts? I read something about encoding in the documentation - perhaps I did not try out the right option...

I am using Python 2.2.3 (Fedora Core 1). The problem is, that strings containing umlauts do not work as I would expect. Here is my example: >>> a = 'äöü' >>> b = '123' >>> print "%-5s %-5s\n%-5s %-5s" % (a,a,b,b) äöü äöü 123 123 I would expect, that the displayed width of a or b is the same: 5 characters.

I'm on WinXP, Python 2.3. I don't have problems with umlauts (ä, ö, ü and their uppercase instances) in my wxPython-GUIs, when displayed as static texts. But when filling controls with text containing umlauts, or in the Python console, or when writing to files umlauts are escaped: Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Hello! Given an array of chars such as char array = "Umlauts öäü" (that is definitely able to handle those special characters) a conversion to string returns in getting ripped of the special characters öäü. Obviously, this is something I don't wanna see happen, but otherwise, I don't even have a clue on how to avoid it. Any help urgently required ;-)

Hello, I'm using VS 2005 and I need to send a mail body which contains german umlauts (ä,ö,ü). When I receive the mail in Outlook 2003 (english operating system) I always get a '|' or other similar symbols instead of the expected umlaut. I'm using Sstem.Net.Mail and I already tried something like this: string body = "this is some sample äöüÄÖÜß HTML text";
