charset problems!

[quote author="metamorpher" date="1234985374"]I've tried saving data via form input using utf-8 using special chars from spanish language and it just stores question marks... I'm using

Code:

$this->input->post

... and my db collation were utf-8 during the test...

I think something is not parsing well... I'm back on iso-8859-1 until someone could give a better answer [/quote]

Yes, same here. With spanish chars in input boxes and having all set to utf-8 (mysql databases and tables, html head, CI charset and database), all goes wrong after 2 days of trials (even tried Mysql4 and Mysql5).

BUT, using CI and Mysql in latin1 works fine with spanish chars from the first time!!!

So, I also think there is something wrong with CI and utf-8.
