Re: encodings in pharo

Pier has no encoding on its own. Encoding depends on what Seaside server adaptor you are using. WAKom: If you use this server adapter no conversion is happening, that means the strings are in UTF-8 and look messed up when being looked at from within the image. Common operation like #size, #includesSubstring:, #matches: and #, might return unexpected results. As long as the strings are sent back verbatim that works well and is very efficient. WAKomEncoded: If you use this server adapter incoming strings are converted from UTF-8 to Squeak, outgoing ones from Squeak to UTF-8. These strings look ok in Squeak, as long as the font you are using supports to display these characters. Conerting from and to UTF-8 is slow, but your regular expressions should work assuming that your regular expression engine works on wide strings.
