Hello,
I'm running a German wiki configured using latin1. Trying to use unicode instead of latin1, all special characters like ÄÖÜ etc. are broken in the browser (and also in the database, if I take a look into the tables via phpmyadmin). This effect can be undone by running the setup again configuring latin1. Not being a specialist in such things it seems to me to be more "modern" to use unicode. Is this correct, or should I just leave latin1. If it would make sense to convert to unicode, how can I do this? What are the consequences of using the one or the other?
Sorry for this questions of one mainly just beeing a "user" but who also does some things on a server. Any hint, even in the form of hyperlinks to further reading would be appreciated.
Nikolai
