cavac's QRH checklist for "Before dealing with character encodings (Unicode or otherwise)":

  1. Make sure Aspirin (or similar headache medicine) is available at your desk.
  2. Make sure the nearest wall is sufficiently soft (pad where required).
  3. Warn coworkers that loud cursing and profanity will be heard from your desk.
  4. Issue OSHA approved safety equipment to coworkers to protect against thrown objects.
  5. Put any irreplacable objects out of immediate reach.
  6. Get down on knees and pray to any $DEITY that would listen that your project doesn't use C libraries.
  7. Give the actual coding work to your intern.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
