waynew Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Just use the default charset. In regards to your HTML/XHTML, "utf-8" should do fine. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/178042-character-setscollations-stuff/#findComment-938748 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cags Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Since you only wish to use 'English' characters not so much. Generally speaking default settings tend to be optimised for this already. Character sets etc become more important when you wish to use other 'languages'.
