Re: Russian characters

Thanks Manuel and Reshat,

I re-inited with UTF-8 and it seems to work ok.

I understand that displaying the chars really depends on the client(browser)
and it is not my concern. I bit baffled though, as I played around with
encoding settings in Konqueror, I can see the 'funny' chars also from a
LATIN1 db. But I am happy as long as the db stores and retrieves them right.
So, no probs.

Thanks again.

BR,

Aarni
