Special Characters
Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2005 12:21 am
Thanks for a great script!
I am using it on a private site where most of my guest are, as I am, Icelandic and I was wondering wether I could the special Icelandic characters ð, þ and æ to appear correctly. (I hope they do here or else this won't make much sense).
I'll write them here with the following code that appears instead of them when I post on the board and also the code for them that Macromedia Dreamweaver translates them into automatically, in case it could help.
Character - mboard code - Dreamweaver code
ð = ð = ð
þ = þ = þ
æ = æ = æ
and here they are in capital letters...
Ð = Ð = Ð
Þ = Þ = Þ
Æ = Æ = Æ
I tried mucking about a bit with the mboard.php file but was unable to get it right. I hope you have a solution for it and if you do I would be grateful to have it. It is such a small step for being perfect for me
Thanks and regards
