Stephan (VS) Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Is it safe to use ASCII or whatever characters on an osCommerce website? Specifically - ₂ , as in oxygen O₂ (2082 Unicode Hex) Text enlarged for viewing purpoises. Do the scripting languages & browsers support it?

Do the scripting languages & browsers support it? As far as I know utf-8 is pretty much standard now (I saw Wordpress assuming it as a default for the MySQL database recently). But I assume it is only safe it the webserver the site is on uses utf-8 for the character set, the MySQL database is utf-8, and your setting for character set in osC (I believe the includes/languages/english.php or whatever language you are using) is utf-8 (probably not so important unless you work locally because the browser pays attention to what the webserver says you will be using, not what you put in the header is my experience). So it all depends :) (I'm not an expert in this though so....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan (VS) Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 The server I'm gonna be hosting on does support utf-8, I'll check tonight when I upload it and make it live. If it does crash I'l post here. I doubt there would be any issues, I'l just click the sync button and see what happens. ^_^ "I have no special talent.
