A guy comes in and enters his last name as RĂ–nngren.
So what did the browser really give me; is it encoded in some way, like latin-1? Does it depend on whether the name was cut and pasted from a Word doc. etc? Should I handle these internally as unicode? Right now my database tables are latin-1 and things seem to usually work, but not always. Also, what do people do when searching for a record. Is there some way to get 'Ronngren' to match the other possible foreign spellings? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
