#42724 [Opn]: swedish characters don't work

ID: 42724 User updated by: hannes at knowingweb dot com Reported By: hannes at knowingweb dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Translation problem Operating System: win PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: From reading my report I see the Unicode number is fffd which is a character used to replace an incoming character whose value is unknown or unrepresentable to Unicode. So I gather the problem is due to the communication between a client and the server where the client uses a character set or encoding that the server doesn't understand. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-21 11:46:31] hannes at knowingweb dot com Description: ------------ The online documentation http://www.php.net/manual/sv/ is not properly formatted for utf-8. å,ä,ö are sometimes ok but many times not. I've tried moth IE 6 and Firefox and it's the same in both. I suppose the reason is that these files either has been made in a non-utf-8 format (or with the BOM?) and installed on server or that they were written via a form by a client using a character set that could not be understood by the server? I would be interested to know why and if you need help to straighten it up please mail me. (It doesn't look good to a swedish audience with a documentation that can't handle this fundamental matters.) Regards, Hannes Röhl PS I post a source example from the beginning of the file http://www.php.net/manual/sv/index.php where the letter "å" (&aring;) is written correctly and not. I'm not certain thoutgh if it will be visible to you.
