building a website in french help

[jean12]

I am building a website in french. The problem that I am facing is special characters. I know that I can enter the code number (eg &#92) but that is very time consuming and not practical because the site will be dynamic so the user can modify contents. Does anybody have any solution.

What are you using to build the website with?

Some programs and web-based software will be UTF-8 ('special character') compliant anyway so this shouldn't be an issue. But yeah, knowing how you are building the website should help

Thanks for your answer. I am building the website with php and mysql database. So far this has helped "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>". I havent started coding in php yet or built the database  but so far this has resolved the issue.
