Hi all,
Is there a list of charsets that are allowed? I have looked thru a bunch
of RFC docs and got a few, but I found the following one on a MS Japanese
site which raised a question.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=x-sjis">
seems to be the same as (as far as MSIE3.01 is concerned, anyway):
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-2022-jp">
Is there a list of all the charsets accepted and any equivalents posted on
the web anywhere?
I've seen the iso-8859-1 thru iso-8859-9. I'm more interested in sets
specifying JIS, Shift-JIS, Korean and the asian languages.
Also, what is the proper charset definition for the (PC) Windows character
set?
Thanx in advance,
Tom
