All the damn time I'm using several languages. Then UTF (and EUC's) are the way to go. It's not like you have to use the same encoding all the time.

- muyuu 15y ago?? Not if you know what you're doing. Not any more than using utf8 exclusively all the time and for all purposes.
- derleth 15y ago> Not if you know what you're doing. This is nice in theory. In practice, people make mistakes. Make it easy on yourself. > Not any more than using utf8 exclusively all the time and for all purposes. Maybe I was unclear: Feeding me Chinese text in UTF-8 is not garbage. Feeding me anything in one of the GB encodings is garbage. Garbage, to me, is text in an encoding I can't handle. If you only use UTF-8, that cannot possibly happen.
