Wired characters with tinyMCE
Permalink
Hi,
I'm quite new to concrete5. Everytime I save content with the tinyMCE the german "Umlaute" like "ä, ü, ö, ..." are displayed as wired chartacters like "ü" (frontend and directly in the database). I've changed the html entity configuration (tinyMCE) to "raw" and the database (mySQL) is "utf8_general_ci".
What can I do? Thanx 4 the help!

Two things:
1. Clear cache
2. Are you sure that all tables on your MySQL database is set to utf8_general_ci. Not only changed the base Collation. Look through your table structure and be sure that Collation is set correctly for all of them. If you see different Collation in some tables then it would be a little problem that you have to make a script to change.
You write that you have changed TinyMCE to raw. It should never be nessesary to change anything in Concrete5 core.
