![]() (+ in Mozilla) If you are interested in Math symbols check list "22 Mathematical Operators". A nice feature with the characters is that you can easily enlarge the text in your browser to see them better. For a discussion of the difference between the collations see the MySQL documentation.įree On-line Unicode Character Map gives you the possibility to see the different characters that are supported (or NOT!) in your browser and see which code is used if you need that. For this reason, Moodle tables are normally set-up using the utf8_unicode_ci collation. The utf8_general_ci collation is slightly faster but less accurate than the utf8_unicode_ci collation in representing all the characters in languages. There are two different Unicode collations used: utf8_general_ci (default) and utf8_unicode_ci. ![]() In MySQL, the database collation has to be set to unicode before the Moodle database is created. Prior to 1.6, Moodle did not support UTF-8 across all languages and the encoding in which the data was stored in the database depended upon the language used in a particular course. Support was added in 1.6 and was made mandatory from 1.8 onwards. Moodle uses UTF-8 encoding to be able to support different languages. ![]() UTF-8 is a specific encoding of Unicode used by many applications. Unicode is a character set that allows one to represent practically any language and many special characters used in science, math and technology.
