I'm new to python. I'm trying to print accented characters, like this: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- print 'éàÇÃãéèï' But when I execute this code, I get: >> ├®├á├ç├â├ú├®├¿├» I'm using 64-bit Windows 7 & Python 2.7.5, I have the code in file.py and execute it with python file.py As Wooble mentioned, if you change print 'éàÇÃãéèï' to print u'éàÇÃãéèï' It should work.

How to know if a string contains accents? if (Pattern.matches(".*[éèàù].*", input)) { .... } add whatever accents you want to that list Jack I think the best thing you can do is using a normalizer that splits unicode characters with accents into two separate character. Java includes this in class Normalizer , see here . This, for example, will split U+00C1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE into U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT and will do this for every character that has accents or other diacritical mark ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic ). Then you can check

My Table collation is "utf8_general_ci". If i run a query like: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE myfield = "FÖÖ" i get results where: ... myfield = "FÖÖ" ... myfield = "FOO" is this the default for "utf8_general_ci"? What collation should i use to only get records where myfield = "FÖÖ"? Gunni SELECT * FROM table WHERE some_field LIKE ('%ö%' COLLATE utf8_bin) A list of the collations offered by MySQL for Unicode character sets can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-unicode-sets.html If you want to go all-out and require strings to be absolutely identical in order to test

I want to set a text in a label: labelDemnaechst.setText(" Demnächst fällig:"); On the output in the application the characters "ä" are displayed wrong. How can I display them well? well you have to encode your special charactars to Unicode. You can finde a list of the representive Unicode characters here . Your examle would look like this: labelDemnaechst.setText("Demn\u00E4lachst f\u00E4llig:"); Hope this helps, if noone has a better solution. Appendix: Thanks Thomas for your tipp, you really have to change the format in which eclipse safes it's source files. Per default it uses something

If the file name contains accents, it works as expected in Opera, FF, Chrome and IE9. But in IE8 file type is "unknown file type", and shows "file" as the file name (actually the last part of the URL). Does anyone know a workaround? Other than replacing the "special" characters in the file name? The test code: (file | new project | add controller) public class FileController : Controller { public ActionResult Index(bool? Accents) { byte[] content = new byte[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 }; return File(content, "application/octet-stream", true.Equals(Accents) ? "dsaé.txt" : "dsae.txt"); } } test it like this:
