Mapserver and Unicode utf-8

[Mario Basa]

Hi,

The ENCODING parameter converts the character string into UTF-8, so I
don't think it will be very helpful if the original string is in UTF-8
already.

Just make sure that the font set that is being used can handle UTF-8
characters. Also, if the data is in a different character set before
it was imported into a UTF-8 PostgreSQL db, make sure that the
"\encoding" command is used before importing.

mario.
