UTF-8 is the current standard encoding for Unicode characters. I cannot
think of a reason (besides pure sport) to serve a page in explicit
UTF-7 encoding. But even then there is the often forgotten option to
indicate charset for the script block itself:
<html>
<head>
<title>'round Korean issue</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-7">
</head>
<body>
+10-
<script type="test/javascript" charset="iso-8859-1">
var foo = "a" + "A";
</script>
</body>
</html>
- But I have to serve the script in UTF-7 too !
- Don't be boring silly now.
