My php application use other encode ,such as GBK,GB2312 and so on,use htmlspecialchars way encode ,hiphop server out mistake ,

e.g.:
my php code use "htmlspecialchars($escape, ENT_QUOTES, 'GB2312');"

Why not just use UTF8? It supports all characters so you don't need to mess with character sets :S

My company's application use a part of GBK or GB2312,so I find this mistake ( GB2312 is not implemented yet. in app/Query.php on line 32),if hiphop not support GBK or GB2312 ,I try to make the development of encoding UTF-8 standard development.

Correct, we don't currently support the range of character sets supported by PHP, primarily because UTF-8 offers the broadest possible support for all character sets without the need to specialize.

Since you use GBK/GB2312, you have a couple options.

#1 Help us add support!

#2 Use iconv or icu to transcode inputs to UTF-8 and use the output buffering mechanism to convert back to your native character set on output.
