We've been using UniWakka with some success, although I'm only "learning"
Unicode presently, and I think UniWakka uses some form of data conversion so
the stored data is not "really" Unicode.
Forgive me if this is a naive question, but as we are committed to using PHP and
MySQL to backend our wiki, is it even possible to have a true Unicode wiki
until these tools become Unicode native? We have been testing a Unicode MySQL
installation, and it continues to be problematic with PHP (at least as far as
my coding skills enable me to code).
If anyone here has found or used or set up good documentation on doing Unicode
via MySQL and PHP, could you please let me know?
