Comment 2 Petr Blaha 2008-03-28 13:35:13 UTC 
There are several problems:

1) quiz database doesn't use CHARACTER SET utf8
see:
mysql> status;
--------------
Server characterset:    latin1
Db     characterset:    latin1
Client characterset:    latin1
Conn.  characterset:    latin1
--------------
2) we don't use &useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8 for JDBC connection
Comment 3 Jindrich Sedek 2008-04-01 16:39:24 UTC 
The main problem is not in database neither in JDBC connection. The problem is in JEditorPane that is not possible to
submit HTML form with UTF-8 characters - all characters that are not possible to be given into URL are replaced by
question mark character. I won't fix JEditorPane component.

is expectation for this module only the India audience and only assumes/requires
english to be used ?  if so, then I guess it not need to be able to display
non ascii, but if this module will be a more general purpose module that might
be used later for other audiences, then seems the non ascii would want to
be able to be displayed ok.

Hi Ken,

the first deployment is targeted only for India. Probably, the quiz would be extended for more regions/countries in 
the future. However, this is still under discussion. I suppose that all questions and data will be in english only but 
users would provide non-ASCI characters for user's e-mail or university. BTW, can we expect some non-ASCI characters 
in Indian's names?
Comment 6 Ken Frank 2008-04-01 22:47:51 UTC 
am guessing that all would be in english since its an official language there,
but since users there can run in india locales or regional settings,
it might happen that some info might be in other characters, but not often;
but I think things like univ name, email address would be in english.
and I think if we have comment to please use english only for this
that it can help in this case avoid non ascii.
