You were just playing a prank.. weren't you?? If you dunno, then read this:
Post in hindi in digit forum

I am using GNOME with locales configures with guj, dev, mal, bn languages

[aadipa]

the forum database is mySQL which is UNICODE compliant.. so these is no problem of unicode.

Then why I am unable to get Hindi or Urdu when I have ben using it in Gmail and Google Groups. And my browser FireFox with default UTF-8 encoding gets all Unicode text all right.

I agree it was my mistake. Having posted two messages in this foru,. I forgot to switch forum and posted it here. Satisfied Mr. Hot Blood? BTW I am an old man of 55.

I have been able to write in Urdu, created Google groups that fully support Unicode Urdu (Check e.g. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/Sher-o-Adab and http://groups-beta.google.com/group/UrduComputing) and I never felt any problem. But in my other highly active Yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/urdu_computing/ we all tested and concluded that Yahoo server does not fully support Unicode Urdu.
I have created Swara and Sautee, the two phonetic keyboards (that when I sent to Digit for the CD/DVD, they did not respond) that I use, and select the language from the language bar. And this exercise is failing in case of Digit forum. Why?????

[tuXian]

yes lots of digit readers who have urdu as their mother tongue,l I know about 150 of them in Hyderabad alone but alas they arent the members of the forum. It would b gr8 if digit implements your urdu support if its compatible.

Now I tried Urdu as well here. When I typed, it showed LTR, not RTL, but in the preview, it remains question marks. I tried to change the FireFox encoding to UTF-7 and 16 too but no change???[/code]
