And now I'm not really using it!</p> <p>There is a big showstopper for maintaining german content (or in any other language that uses more than the 7 bit ASCII character set): <a href="http://www.rekallrevealed.org/">Rekall</a> (on the Mac) doesn't handle <a href="http://www.unicode.org/">Unicode</a> correctly. Here's a short sample: to the left the expected display (from <a href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/">phpMyAdmin</a>), to the right the screen shot from Rekall:</p> <p> <div class="figure figure nocaption fig-50" > <img class="fig-img" src="https://pesche.schlau.ch/wp-content/phpmy-utf.png" alt="Correct umlaut with phpMyAdmin"> </div> <div class="figure figure nocaption fig-50" > <img class="fig-img" src="https://pesche.schlau.ch/wp-content/rekall-utf.png" alt="The same umlaut with Rekall"> </div> <div class="figure " > <img class="fig-img" src="" > </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </p>
