[orbit-dev] ISO-8829-1 encoding for Orbit ???
|
Hi
all,
On the Wiki I just
found this:
"... it is recommend you set the project's default
encoding preference to ISO-8829-1.."
Is this a typo and
meant to be ISO-8859-1 (which would be more familiar to me)?
How do we treat
chracters not available in ISO-8859-1 e.g. foreign names of
contributors in
copyright comments, with accents and other odd characters?
Shouldn't we re-use
the encoding used by the original library provider, if they
need special
characters and chose to adopt a particular encoding?
I think the real
point here is that most sources out there in the wild use
ISO-8859-1 and
that's the real reason for adopting it by default. However,
Java does support
Unicode (UTF-8) and HTML can even specify encoding
in the source file
so I'm a little confused...
Cheers,
