Re: Problem with charset iso-8859-1

You should not be having problems with the two apostrophes.  Both are "Basic 
Latin" codes, characters represented by values in the range 0x00-0x7f.  (See 
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf for the Basic Latin codes.)  The 
apostrophes specifically have values 0x27 (') and 0x60 (`).

The "normal" apostrophe (') is part of the Basic Latin set of codes, with a 
value of 0x27.  The "tick" or "back tick" (`) is also Basic Latin, with a value 
of 0x60.  (See http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf for the Basic Latin 
codes.)  Together, Basic Latin and the Latin-1 Supplement 
(http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf) constitute iso-8859-1.  It 
appears to me that the "forward tick" (´) is 0xb4.  As such, I do not know why 
it does not display correctly.

Are you certain that the character in question is this variation of the 
apostrophe?  When I recently did some Google work, Google required the use of 
UTF-8.  You may want to try making your pages UTF-8 and disabling the NuSOAP 
automatic translation to iso-8859-1 ($client->decodeUTF8(false);).

Hi,
 
I integrated Google Web API into my WEB site which currently uses iso-8859-1. 
To do this I use nuSOAP but there is still problem into result display because 
my page is iso-8859-1. In fact I dont know if iso-8859-1 is a good choice 
because I in swizerland french part and the problem is about apostroph 
charactere. In fact, the apostroph characetr is different from france because 
there is two differente one which are: [´] and [']. The second is ok but the 
first seems to be replaced by [?]. Could you please explain me it's or not a 
NuSOAP problem or a bad choice about my iso charset?
 
Thanks.
