Subj: [kl] Very OT - HTML Question
Date: Sun, 06 Mar 2011 11:09:35 -0500
Apologies in advance for a nearly completely off-topic question. I know I
might find more interest in an HTML forum, but I don't currently belong to
one, so I thought I'd ask here before I look to unfamiliar forums.
Among the many hats I wear, one is that of webmaster for a reading orchestra
that meets weekly. Each week I post the next rehearsal's repertoire on the
home page and we keep both a future schedule and an archive, both
database-driven, on a separate page. There are of course a number of
composers whose names have non-English characters in their names. This week
Dvorak is the problem. Although there is a Unicode value for the 'r' with a
caron (as it should appear in his name), when I try to include the code in
the HTML, the wrong character comes up (a capital Y with an umlaut). I have
not found a way to put the accented 'r' into the web page. There are others
that cause similar problems. Is there another character set - the <head>
section of each of our pages specifies "charset=iso-8859-1" - I could use
that would work in U.S. browsers but include these (mostly Central European)
accent marks?
Thanks in advance.
Karl
