I'd enjoy a web site that had zero issues with characters rendered improperly, so I'm considering converting my web sites to use the UTF-8 character set for storage and presentation.
Steps
- Convert all the existing data in every text field of every table in the database.
- Convert all the html pages to declare UTF-8 as their encoding.
- Convert all php scripts to use UTF-8 as the default character set.
- Convert all mysql connections and requests to use UTF-8.
