This section is for articles which relate mainly to the Cambodian language, often referred to as Khmer. As with the rest of my site, the articles are presented in *reverse* chronological order. Also, they tend to represent things which I have discovered or speculated about which *supplement* the standard materials: this is not intended to present a free teach-yourself-Khmer course.

Test file for UTF-8 support of Khmer Unicode

I wondered what the result is of providing UTF-8 bytes inside a webpage defined as iso-8859-en. It turns out that the browser, at least Firefox, believes the 8859 and displays the Cambodian as junk. So I've changed my meta charset spec to UTF-8 and it seems to work (even though vi at panix is showing the UTF-8 characters as a bunch of hex escape codes).

If the above shows as a bunch of junk for you, you presumably don't have a font available which handles those Unicode character codes. I haven't yet set up a font spec to try and let your browser know which font to try.

I should probably put in an example of my own PKD font as well, but as nobody has reported using it I feel too lazy.
