Encoding problem

[eluser]snifty[/eluser]
ponto, what happens if you explicitly tell your browser to switch between latin-1 to utf-8? For instance in Firefox, if I do View>Character Encoding, I can select

Code:

Unicode (UTF-8)

or

Code:

Western (ISO-8859-1)

.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you might want to test with more than just a few words in the view, because the browser will sometimes rely on character counts to guess encodings (yes, even when all the headers and configurations are set). So it might confuse it further if you just hand it a few words to try to guess from.

Also, as for the settings on your db, the

Code:

encoding

of your db and db tables is more important than the

Code:

collation

. The collation is just used for sorting, but the encoding tells the db how you want the data to be written to disk.

Hang in there!!
