For my contribution to Mozilla Service Week, I’m going to be helping the local Stanford Chinese School improve their student/teacher database. Should be an interesting learning experience. Among other things, they have a bugs where Chinese characters in certain places are getting mangled. Figuring this out will be good practice in the practical aspects of internationalizing the Web.

Good for You!
I worked w/”special characters” in Web apps in a “previous life” [I don’t remember much].
It can be a bear; but rewarding when it works!
Cheers! [and patience ;-]

That’s great! I myself have been working with my French teacher on using “special characters” in Windows. Up until now, she’s always done a bunch of printouts and then gone in and modified them with a pencil. When you’re doing that for a whole class, it can get pretty tedious, I’m sure.
