Re^2: ucfirst doesn't work if first character of word a special finnish character by Anonymous Monk on Oct 03, 2006 at 12:24 UTC
Hi! I tried with this, but still it doesn't work. ---------- `use locale; use POSIX qw(locale_h); setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'fi_FI'); setlocale(LC_COLLATE, 'fi_FI'); print ucfirst "äbcdef";` [download] ----------- But it prints "-bcdef" i.e "ä" is not being printed correctly. Do I need to do anything else? Thanks. Edited by planetscape - added code tags and rudimentary formatting Read more... view votes (25 Bytes)	[reply] [d/l]

Are you printing directly to STDOUT? It may just be that wherever you're printing it to is unable to display the character correctly.	[reply]
