Hi,

I am a newbie in web development.

I want display hindi charsets on my website, for that I need utf-8 support.

When I test on browser, hindi chars are displayed properly but when I test in my mobile's browser it wasn’t displayed properly(printed some square chars).

When checked I found that there one more param in utf-8 called q which is passed.

So here I can say that if my browser supports 'Utf-8' there is no guarantee that it will display hindi characters properly.

So can any one tell me which is the charset (utf8,utf16,iso10646-ucs-2,iso8859-1,iso8859-2,iso8859-15) that supports hindi fully (100%) and not even 90%.

Regards

Rupam

Obviously utf-8 supports hindi completely. Thats what unicode is fonr! The problem is not with the charset, it is either your code or the browser.
