Dear list.
Thank you for all the answers on my question on ISO-8859-1.
I'm still a little bit confused. In the I-mode FAQ it says ISO-8859-1. What
I have read (also in this thread) is that ISO-8859-1 is built on top of
US-ASCII that adds extra characters for an example swedish, dutch and german
languages.
If the I-mode faq is correct the phones should dislpay these languages
characters too on top of the standard english characters otherwise it should
be US-ASCII that I-mode phones has support for (please correct me if I'm,
wrong). Or does the I-mode faq means that Shift-JIS also "include" US-ASCII
and in that way you could say Shift-JIS support two characters encoding
(Shift-JIS, US-ASCII) but that Shift-JIS is the only hardcoded character
encoding in the phone? Can you follow me? :-)
Unfortunately I don't have an I-mode phone but If someone has one I would be
really, really happy if you could try some swedish, dutch or german
characters.
Have a happy weekend all of you!
Karl.
