Re: Questions on the limitation of Double Byte character Set in HTML

Yes, we ran into it while using MBCS - in Chinese, there are
double-bte characters where 1st byte has the same code as
copyright symbol, so Chinese text verification issued an Error when we
tried to place a copyright symbol -
'You have only a half of a Chinese letter in your string!"

It was in "About" box of our application so _had to_ force ID department
to use 3 symbols - (c)  - instead :-)

While a Unicode string would not have such issue...

Moreover, if you want to _mix_ say Shift_JIS and BIG5 text on the same
Web page, then you have no other choice as  have it as UTF-8 -
I have a "beginner's page about UTF-8 in HTML":
