I'm using UTF-8 on XHTML 1 pages with the .php extension, so that I can do wizard-like things when it is necessary. But I recently encountered an issue with a lengthy passage Turkish text where it was necessary to display accent marks on consonant characters. Particularly, on upper and lower case "G" characters. Granted, this isn't a PHP question but I'm curious, how does UTF-8 solve this display issue? Because I've Googled until I'm blue in the face but I didn't find a resolution that was ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 compatible. Bringing it back around, thank you Tedd for the suggestion of going through the .docs and writing examples of each function. Brilliant! ReeseExactly what are the advantages of using utf-8? How will it solve my problem?actually, i have no idea because i have no idea what problem you are trying to solve and i apologize for presumptuous. i presumed that you have a php app with a bunch of data in mysql and you needed to handle international characters in the db beyond latin-1.
