strange characters in message text
setting up an online banking page, but keeps returning error <unrecognised character>. my quote above is what my friend recieved when i emailed him for help. How to I set char set to comply with usa default for Win which is their supported system. I was sending utf8, I think. I haven't tried utf7, as the turnaround takes several days. I could email site owner to see what they expect. I just thought I might have accidentally reconfigured my kbrd.
edit: now testing utf8 and us en international kbrd with dead keys [for Australian use on laptop]. will be 4days before I know if it works.

Hi boof.
In this case, you, the customer, have a right to expect friendly and easy
access to the service. So you DEFINITELY should NOT have to reconfigure
your keyboard every time you wish to access this service.
The sysadmin / sysop at the other end should have the skills to enable
automatic character translation within his/her system, especially for a bank!!!
Web sites for banks in Canada, Switzerland and Belgium, to name but a few
multilingual countries, do it all the time.
BFN.

I agree with your sentiments, but they're no solution. I know not what I have done nor what I am doing. I have no reference to guide me to a solution, because I have no understanding. I'm guessing in the dark, and the probability of guessing a solution looks very small to me. The site I'm accessing supports only MS OS's and their affiliates. It may not even support FF. There is NO WAY I'm going to bank online with MS products if it's totally incompatible. I will contact the site owners and see what data formats they expect. I do not guarantee an adequate, educated response.

Are you sure that bank is legit?...
I have used a couple of reputable bank sites, and all of them accept the
Mozilla family of browsers: FF, Seamonkey or PaleMoon, from WhineDose or
Linux, they don't care.
You see, web sites are neither Apple, nor linux, nor WhineDose; web sites
are written in html and php, which all web browsers understand.
In any case, good luck.

Post a link to the bank web site.
We can see what it does for us.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
