I have a text area that people should type in (duh) which will later be
displayed for other users via HTML. I've taken care of the HTML aspect
in a pretty cool way, but I worry about character sets now.
Everything works for me, but I use UTF-8. When the form is submitted,
how do I know what character set the data is coming in? I need to know
this to perform htmlentities on the data and have it work properly.
All my pages are defined as UTF-8. Would this mean that the data coming
from the form also be UTF-8?
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ut f-8">
Finally, when I need to put the content back into the textarea for
editing, do I need to use the original character set with
html_entity_dec ode, or can I have it output in a new character set?
I've dealt with character sets in REALbasic before, and have a good
grasp of what they are and such. But I have no experience with
third-party browsers and all that jazz.
Basically, what do I do?

Yes. The data coming in will have the same encoding as the page that does

Hi
According to the official mysql manual:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Charset-SHOW-CHARSET.html
The syntax to show all available character sets is the SHOW CHARACTER
SET command. It takes an optional LIKE clause that indicates which
character set names to match.

All I know is that there are 8 bit numbers from 0 to 255 mapped to
characters like A, B, C, D and some strange looking ones (like the ones
used to make boxes in old PC text modes) all these being called ASCII
characters.
So, what in a nutshell does "character sets" mean and how are they
helpful in displaying multiple languages ?
Any simple explanation?

Hi,
I have an Html document that declares that it uses the utf-8 character

language allows me to get the ascii value for any individual character

7.4#1 states
The header <ctype.h> declares several functions useful for classifying
and mapping characters.166) In all cases the argument is an int, the
value of which shall be representable as an unsigned char or shall
equal the value of the macro EOF. If the
argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.
Why should something such as:
tolower(-10); invoke undefined behavior?

1) Am I correct that C++ does not have a defined character set? In
particular, a platform might not use the ASCII character set?
2) C++ supports wchar_t types. But again, this has no defined

Hi, I want to store python text strings that characters like "é" "Č"
in a mysql varchar text field. Now my problem is that mysql does not
seem to accept these characters. I'm wondering if there is any way I
can somehow "encode" these characters to appear as normal characters
and then "decode" them when I want to get them out of the database
again?
-Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
