I am able to succesfully cut and paste Unicode characters from other
page, successfully store and display unicode characters.
However, my client actually wants ISO-8859-1 encoding, which I’m
coming to realize is somehow different then UTF8. Having UTF8 allows me
to use alot of the ISO-8859-1 strings, but not all of them.
So my questions are:
What is the difference?
How do I configure my application for ISO-8859-1? I tried just
changing the content-type, but there must be more to that.

Could you give us some exemple of string in ISO-8859-1 that don’t
support UTF-8,
I personnaly don’t so any until here. From my own I do web sites in
different
languages, french, english, slovak and actually use UTF-8 all the time,
I didn’t
have any problem until now, except first to find how to save my files in
UTF-8,
radrails do that really easely.

I personaly past some good hours looking at it and find this ressource
useful
for me :

I just get a really fast look to the wiki page you give up and I think
you just
might put your application as it was before you did that.
About the Content-Type, this is only gona inform the browser about the
encoding
of your page, so if your page is not encoded with the same charset it
will not
work properly.
