Wow, I'm replying to myself, how dorky is that? :-)
I just checked and LiveJournal uses UTF-8 encoding. A look at the charset
pages at w3c.org and ietf.org showed that UTF-8 basically is Unicode.
So, I tried putting up two test pages containing accented characters, one
with the standard iso-8859-1 encoding specified in a meta tag and one with
UTF-8, in hopes that this would demonstrate that the latter worked and the
former didn't. Unfortunately, though, neither of them worked. Tried
charset=unicode and that didn't work either. The accented characters just
showed up as question marks or nonsense characters. I even made sure that
character encoding in my browser was set to UTF-8 and it still didn't work.
Clearly, I'm missing something here. I suppose this technically isn't a
PostgreSQL question as such any more, though it's being asked with regard to
a PostgreSQL-driven site. But does anyone have any idea what sort of step I
might be missing here in trying to get accented characters to display via
UTF-8?
