Hello, I'm having troubles with accents in words I retrieve from database.
What I expect is 'Retención' but what I get is 'Retenci?n'. When I retrieve that info with a Java app it works fine. Is there any solution?
What database are you storing these strings in and in what encoding? Also, how are you displaying strings with the accents? Make sure your view is setting the content-type of the page properly via the meta tag.
This is probably a good place to look:
You can ignore the gettext parts if you're not going to translate your app, the first part is concerned with making non-English characters display properly which is what you want.
Thanks Eden, I'm going to have a look on this.
Well, I asked to our db admin and she told me we use
name = iso_1 description = "ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) - Western European 8-bit character set."
on Sybase 12.5.
After reading the article you said me I didn't get it to work. No different results :(.
