QuickBase and Unicode Support
Posted October 27, 2008 – 4:14 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in ProgrammingSome quick notes on QuickBase and Unicode:
- QuickBase stores Unicode data natively on the backend
- Unicode encoding must be set as default in the browser
- Any QuickBase functionality that relies on Javascript or AJAX support, DOES NOT work with Unicode
The last point is due to the two issues:
1. The bug with UTF-8 encoding in my previous post.
2. The fact the UTF-8 is not decoded properly as described here.
Same applies to the QuickBase Javascript client library. Of course, adding cross browser XML support and proper decoding would fix it.
