http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10068 Bug ID: 10068 Summary: Move from the utf8:: pragma methods to Encode:: Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: tomascohen@gmail.com As stated by Larry Wall [1] we should not be using the loose (UTF-8 implementation) utf8::encode utf8::decode methods, and using Encode::encode and Encode::decode (respectively) instead, which are stricter. At first sight this might have important consequences (breakage for people having bad data). I belive it won't: we currently have reports on the lists of people having trouble with wide characters and bad encodings on the lists. (I think) several libs, we rely on, use UTF-8 instead of utf8. And we are not catching encoding problems properly because of the mixture.
