Unicode problems

[ibiubu]

Been playing with FMSA and serving up pages to the web. I can put text in a FM field using unicode and have it show up on the web correctly. For example, enter japanese text in the field, view the record on the web, it stays as japanese.

BUT I cant get web forms with text entered as unicode to work when submitted back to FMSA. For example, if the field on my form has been filled out using Japanese and submitted, when viewing the field contents in FMSA there is nothing but questio marks and squares.

I have made sure that my web pages are set to UTF-8 encoding, but still no go. Now if I copy the text out of the FM field and paste it into a unicode savy application, the text switches back to japanese again. So I am assuming the text is technically unicode, FMSA is just not displaying it as so.

Anyone have any experiance with this, or have any suggestions?

I have the same problems with Traditional Chinese. The web is Windoze dominated and Apple Unicode is a strange animal ... I usually do this to solve the problem I open the files in TextEdit and convert them to RTF then I paste them in Tex-Edit which always converts to Osaka font, while Text edit often renders garbage, then I paste back in Tex-edit and save as text using Unicode 8 which is the standard in the internet.

If you paste directly into FMP you get bad results. Tex-Edit is a great sharewware program, hoiwever they use a very peculiar UTF16 only format, which FMP7 doesn't see.

I hope this helps
