Migration Note to UTF-8 locales
When migrating to UTF-8 locales, the les aect the method that you use to import or export
data.
Microsoft Oce Files
Microsoft Oce les are encoded in Unicode. StarOce applications can read and write the
Unicode encoded les.
HTML Files
HTML les authored using HTML editors such as Mozilla Composer, or HTML les saved by a
web browser, usually contain a charset encoding tag. After exporting or importing, you can
browse such HTML les with the Mozilla Navigator web browser, or edit the les with Mozilla
Composer, according to the encoding tag in the HTML le.
Fixing Broken HTML File
Some HTML les might be displayed in garbage characters. This problem is typically due to the
following reasons:
■
The charset encoding tag is incorrect.
■
The charset encoding tag is missing.
To nd the charset encoding tag in the HTML le, perform the following actions:
1. Open the le with Mozilla.
2. Press Ctrl-i, or click View to open the View menu.
3. Click Page Info.
The charset information is in the bottom of the General tab, for example:
Content-Type text/html; charset=us-ascii
If the string charset=us-ascii does not match the actual encoding of the le, the le might appear
broken. To edit the encodings of the HTML le, perform the following actions:
1. Open the le with Mozilla Composer.
2. Open the File menu.
3. Select Save as Charset.
4. Choose the correct encoding. Mozilla Composer automatically converts the encoding and
the charset tag as appropriate.
