I tried under eclipse. Default console encoding configuration (MacRoman):
#'user/s quÔøΩbÔøΩcois franÔøΩaisnil qu?b?cois fran?aisnil #'user/snc qu?b?cois fran?aisnil qu?b?cois fran?aisnil Console configured to print using ISO-8859-1: #'user/s qu�b�cois fran�aisnil qu?b?cois fran?aisnil #'user/snc qu?b?cois fran?aisnil qu?b?cois fran?aisnil Console configured to print using UTF-8: #'user/s québécois françaisnil québécois françaisnil #'user/snc québécois françaisnil québécois françaisnil So as I come to understand it, it looks like UTF-8 should be the rolls- royce for my needs. May I correctly conclude the following? Don't bother about encodings unless you're displaying something and it's unreadable; then, don't bother about it in the code; find a proper console or viewer. Doesn't that sound like offloading a problem to users? Isn't there something reliable that can be done in the code?
