Does PhpGedView support Unicode (UTF-16)?

No. Unfortunately this is a problem with PHP and thus by inheritance is a problem in PhpGedView. PHP currently does not support wide character sets (2 byte or 16 bit character sets). However, PhpGedView does support the UTF-8 character set which is the standard for the Internet. UTF-8 is a multibyte character set which allows you to view many languages on the same page. Extensive development work has been done in PhpGedView to support the UTF-8 character set throughout the program.
