RE: About XML encoding

Suk Tae Kyung,

you *must* use an encoding in which all your various languages can be
encoded if they're all going to be in the same file - however, you can break
up the file into different files, each with their own encoding, and that way
get around your problem with UTF-8

Why do you think the UTF-8 data is broken? THere are not many editors which
understand UTF-8 - I normally read UTF-8 documents using browsers, which are
UTF-8 aware.

  Hi, Xerces Developers. I have a question on the encoding of XML.
  Although this question is not on Xerces, it has relation to Xerces.


  To specify encoding info, one should write xml like this...

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="some encoding" ?>
     <~~~>
     </~~~>

  If i use Korean data, i should specify "euc-kr" encoding. But
  if i use Korean and Chinease and Japanese in one XML, which encoding
  should i set?
  It would be possible that all data is transformed into UTF-8 and
specifying "UTF-8"
  as encoding. But this method is not good because all data is transformed
into UTF-8
  first and this data is not good at reading.(data seems to be broken)

  Does any one have good idea?
  Thanks in advance.

  Regards.

  Suk Tae Kyung

It's nice that Notepad in Win2K now can write its output as UTF-8,
as well as UTF-16.
