   04-23-2009 - UTF8 and Your Database
Most people reading my blog probably are scratching their heads now at this entry. What the crap? UTF8? Well, let me explain. There has been a problem that has crept up with the postgres database that I've been using. Somewhere along the way they switched from UTF16 to UTF8. What is means is that the extra character set isn't compatible. Extra characters such as the ' at the end of cafe'. Typically, the ' is more tilted to the right on the end of cafe'. This is isn't available in UTF8. I found this php link that helps filter out non UTF8 characters.
