Character sets at Hyves

At my work I gave a short tech lunch presentation on character sets at Hyves. At Hyves we unfortunately still use Windows-1252 because of legacy reasons, which causes many issues.

Included are a short reminder of what character sets are, how to use them, collation, best practices and common pitfalls. Finally, there are some tips for debugging issues with character sets.

If you have any questions after viewing this presentation, please ask.
