 |
|
Hi everybody,
is there really a famous (as the flyer says) Marco Cant or is it just
the missing Unicode support from the leaflet printing machine that made
Marco Cantù to Marco Cant? :-)
I am refering to the morning session on Wednesday 29th of September...
Regards,
Holger

Haven't seen the flyer, luckily the web site has it correct. Anyway,
that's not the first time nor the last I get this sort of problems with my
last name. On formal documents, credit card, etc, it is usually
mis-spelled spelled CANTU', but at times I forget people might have
troubles so I enter the accented u (whcih is just a plain standard key on
my italian keyboard)...

Nonsense.
The ASCII characterset only defines the range of 0 to 127.

Ha! - the perils of using a Grotty Old Newsreader (tm).
What Wolfgang *thought* he'd typed was "I believe "ù" is ascii
{chr(151)}". But his post didn't specify a character set. So it
defaulted to US-ASCII and got mangled to "z".

Hmmm...
I'm reading news with Free Agent, and for me it shows Wolfgang's post
with an 'ú' (that's 'u' with an acute accent, not the grave accent).
Chr(151) is an u-grave in the OEM charset, but looking at the post in
hex, it looks like Wolfgang wrote Chr(250) which is u-acute in the
Windows charset (where u-grave is Chr(249)).
Of course, I'm Swedish, so my computer doesn't default to US-ASCII :-)
So, how does my post look for a US-ASCII reader?
