However these days there is a recognition that there are more languages in the world than English, and UTF8 is the general standard since it supports a wider array of language characters. PBase pages seem to support this since they have no trouble displaying, for example, accented characters as you will find in many European place names or nouns, or even in words like café. (A word which Microsoft Word insists on auto-"correcting", though you could go either way on that.)
HOWEVER, when a word such as this appears in the Description field of a photo, upon loading the PBase uploader reads this as ANSI instead of UTF8. Thus, for example, the text
- Code: Select all
The first stop was a café
Becomes:
- Code: Select all
The first stop was a café
And you have to go and manually correct it on the Edit Photo page. Accented characters, non ANSI dashes, you name it... Every. Single. Time.
Could we please have the uploader treat the upload as UTF8?
Thank you.
