UTF-8 help

[eluser]c77m[/eluser]
There are lots of threads related to character encoding, but I don't see any simple answers to this...

I have CI set up with the default UTF-8 character encoding, which matches my MySQL tables. In one field, I have a name, "Montañez". ActiveRecord unfortunately stores it as "Montañez".

I'm sure there's an easy fix without having to hack CI. Any help?

or, alternatively, you can grab the latest version of CI2 that provides support for UTF-8 environments.

Awesome, thanks much for the link. I didn't have the required content-type meta tag, so adding that fixed the problem.

I'm looking forward to upgrading to CI2, but I'm holding out until it's officially released and the User Guide is updated. I've been using CI a year, but there are too many intricacies I still haven't figured out.

Thanks again...
