Except that search doesn't work, because all text is in latin1 encoding.
- homebrewer 2y agoThis was never true if you know what you're doing, and hasn't been true since 2018 even if you don't.
- yxhuvud 2y agoEither latin1 or that absolutely horrible max-three-byte utf8 encoding that used to be the only available option for utf8.
- sgarland 2y agoWhile obviously I prefer Unicode, latin-1 is perfectly acceptable for most use cases in Western cultures. What part of searching have you found to not work well using it?
- GoblinSlayer 2y agoThe catch is that PHP backend passes strings in utf8.
