[ OT ] About Encodings and Character Sets

This is a nice article:

What Every Programmer Absolutely, Positively Needs to Know About Encodings and Character Sets to Work With Text

http://kunststube.net/encoding/

Which refers to this well known article:

The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html

Sven

PS: in Pharo, the first part of this draft might help too:

Character Encoding and Resource Meta Description

http://stfx.eu/EnterprisePharo/Zinc-Encoding-Meta/

A newer version will be part of the upcoming book.

seaside on encodings long time ago.

Thanks Sven,

Today I used your superb documentation to solve a bug in my software
caused by my improper handling of encoding. Your documentation was very
helpful.

Cheers,

Offray
