Re: Multi-Language Support

We're trying to enter Traditional Chinese characters in an XML file with the
encoding set to UTF-8, but then when you try to view the XML in IE 5, it
doesn't work. However, if you change the encoding to UTF-16 or Big5, you are
able to view the xml in IE. Why is that?

Regards,

Cornee
