zh_Big5 (chinese) be supported on 1.3

[cpfong]

I type in chinese in ee v1.2 without any problem.
It can be read ok.

After I upgrade to v1.3, chinese characters cannot
to read. (But the chinese text in news area are ok)
Am I doing some wrong?

1.3 uses html "charset" definition to tell a browser what character set is to be used. Have you selected chinese charset in EE's misc settings editor?

If you want to try different character sets in 1.3RC (EE 1.3 RC2 will have character set definition with translation files so they can be editred manually), you can enter is as

$s_charset = "nameofcharset"

to the end of fetchsettings.php. That will override the charset setting in misc settings.

Some charset info is at http://people.netscape.com/ftang/meta.html
To turn off charset system completely, set

$s_charset = ""

to the end of fetchsettings.php

Please let me know if you if this helps.
