Re: Special Characters in Query String

re:

That's a mighty big assumption to make, don't you think ?

Even so, using UTF-8, I haven't found a way
to display characters in the high-ascii 128-255 range,
which several Western European languages require.

I've been able to do that by using iso-8859-1.

Can you post a sample, using utf-8,
which displays characters in the high-ascii 128-255 range ?

I'd be a bit more liable to believe you if you did.

Specifically, if you could show me how to display the
characters ñ, Ñ, ¡, ¿, á, é, í, ó, and ú with utf-8, I'd be grateful.
