Hi,

Well you could use PHP's
mysql_set_charset
Normally you would pass it the db link identifier, but if not; it tries to find one itself. How this would work with C5's ADOdb layer I'm not sure.

They can also be set in PHP's php.ini and MySQL's my.cnf

There are a few different settings you can add to your config/site.php file for this:
define('DB_CHARSET', 'your_charset');
define('DB_COLLATE', 'your_collation');


Also make sure your mysql database is using the same collation and also that your database tables are using the same character set (you can set those via phpMyAdmin).

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
//define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8_general_ci');
if open define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8_general_ci') will get this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ADODB_Exception' with message 'mysql error: [1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'COLLATE 'utf8_general_ci'' at line 1] in EXECUTE("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8' COLLATE 'utf8_general_ci'")

It sounds like you didn't change the charset and collation of your database. You must do this as well (in PhpMyAdmin, not in the concrete5 code).
