cool, this works!
Third, make sure there isn't a hidden
"BOM" character at the start of
the file after you save it -- Windows Notepad will insert this when
you save a file as Unicode, but it will mess up some things (broken
RSS feeds, broken caching, possibly visible error messages). I
recommend using a programming editor such as jEdit which allows
saving as UTF-8 without the BOM character.
I'm working with vi - and this worked w/o problems ;-)
(Sorry for the BOM problems, but this is an issue with
how PHP
handles files.)
The meta instruction says "Do not save
LocalSettings.php as
Unicode, because PHP cannot handle it" - so is there any
possibility to get things done?
Some editors such as Notepad mark simply "Unicode" for UTF-16, a form
of Unicode text which is basically wildly incompatible with
everything. ;) Most Internet-friendly Unicode usage is done in the
UTF-8 encoding.
ok, thanks for the explanation! I added it to the instructions in meta.
