Microsoft makes unicode entities SO fun. NOT!
I just added every character from 128 to 255 to my url2mail.c program to encode. I thought I was going to have to, but it became obvious once I looked at the Unicode font set for that space. Microsoft uses a bunch of it for their own purposes (Euro, and other things that normally go elsewhere in the code set are there. So I just encoded them to their actual names, which took care of everything but two, Z caron and zcaron. Ž and ž didn't work for them, although Š works for S caron. Go figure. Who knows what happens if I were to try to use this program under Linux or Mac OS.
Oh, and 5 characters come out as undisplayable (question marks under Mozilla, empty boxes under IE), so I just replace them with question marks.
Update: fixed my spelling mistake in the title. Sigh. :( Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 7/27/2004 11:46:00 AM
