Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Web Development Guide

Unicode UTF-8 support

To allow language translation of labels for UI objects like buttons, menu items, and tabs, the default HTML page supports Unicode UTF–8 encoding. UTF-8 is enabled in the .htm files within the opening XML declaration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

To enable UTF-8 encoding, you must also:

Specify the encoding attribute as UTF-8 on the application tag in the default.htm file. For example:

<td id="app" dyn="" css="../dhtml/ryapp.css" encoding="UTF-8">

This markup ensures that all returned pages have encoding="UTF-8" set in their XML declarations.

Set the Progress Dynamics WebSpeed Agent’s -cpinternal startup parameter appropriately. For more information on agent configuration and startup, see OpenEdge Application Server: Administration .

See OpenEdge Development: Internationalizing Applications for more information about Unicode and UTF-8 encoding.
