Talk:Accented Characters

I've been using Linux full-time for more than two years, and I've only discovered this today.

I wasn't really sure where to put this page, but I linked it from "common tasks".

"If the result ends in UTF-8, you're OK. If not, you should seriously consider converting your system to Unicode/UTF-8, in order to make it work with all languages of the world.": This is what makes a bad article:
 * no explanation what UTF-8 is (a link to wikipedia would have been enough)
 * no explanation why UTF-8 is better
 * no explanation about alternatives
 * no explanation how to do it ("convert your system to UTF-8)
 * that UTF-8 is better is just your opinion --ThorstenStaerk 20:29, May 29, 2008 (UTC)
