Comments on: Django & Leopard & the UTF-8 error http://kosmaczewski.net/2008/01/09/django-leopard-the-utf-8-error/ sin incertidumbre no hay novedad, sin novedad posible no hay más que repetición y, por lo tanto, negación del otro como un ser libre: el ser libre es un ser incierto.

Where I used to work in Argentina at that time we did a website in Spanish, English, Russian and Japanese. I cannot tell you how much it would have helped to have UTF-8 support in both the SQL Server 6.5 database we used at the time, and in the M$ ASP pages infrastructure (with horrid VBScript in them). Even if it's still not 100% perfect today, it's much, much better anyway. Thanks for your comments!

Definitely character encoding is not yet resolved, despite of UTF...it's a pity to see that in 2008 developers should still loose time dealing with character encoding issues instead of developing sexy features...
