[quote author="Andres Ledesma" date="1232947351"]Hello guys! just for the record, I'm working with Spanish especial chars, and this is what I did to get it rollin. Change the values in the database.php inside your config folder like these:

$db['default']['char_set'] = "latin1";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "latin1_swedish_ci";

Then just make sure that the collation of your attributes in your db are "latin1_swedish_ci".

And that is all!

Hope this helps someone!

Im sorry Andres but the real thing is:

$db['default']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";

All chars
