Text Encoding

Text Encoding: One of the most important aspects of the text input process is the encoding of the text which you are working with. It must be encoded as either UTF8 or Latin-1, which provides proper mapping of accented and other extended characters. See the links below for more background information on encoding processes. For example, when propoerly encoded the charcter 'e' is differentiated from the character 'é' and 'é' is not seen as the character 'e' + some symbol.

For more information on Text Encoding see Text Encoding at Wikipedia.
