Whoops. Forgot that I didn't respond to that. Well basically from how I read that, by using XMPP you are consenting that you will not use any non-UTF-8 encoding in any way. I wasn't aware of this part of the specification, but that basically looks like as long as you're using XMPP you will have to block anyone who uses unicode characters in their name, and strip them from messages, etc. - with no option, as long as you're using XMPP, for translation of these characters in any way, escaped or otherwise. I wasn't aware that this was part of the specification. If you'd posted that earlier, the entire discussion wouldn't have happened, as by using XMPP you are effectively agreeing (by my understanding) not to use any non-UTF-8 characters, escaped or otherwise. |

There is no compromise, UTF-8 just allows backwards compatibility with ASCII where standard Unicode doesn't. --- Quote from: M on February 03, 2010, 05:06:34 AM ---If you'd posted that earlier, the entire discussion wouldn't have happened --- End quote --- When you decide to start proposing solutions for an issue you were never even invited to give your opinion on it is generally considered polite to understand (or atleast research) the situation correctly before leading people on some sort of wild goose chase. Anyway, I'm going to use the extra dev time (RTB v4 will have to be released after v15) to look into sharing save files as well as getting a head start on the new website development. |

I would also stop wasting time talking to people about character encoding. I'd rather let them feel ignored and carry on to more important things. If they want to know that badly they can look it up. |
