cyrillic characters display

Might have been discussed before:

Problem with cyrillic characters despite the utf-8 charset enabled. They appear as codes rather than characters. "Esselbach" does not appear as "Эссельбах", but "Эссельбах", e.g.

I even replaced all the ISOs with UTF-8. No improvement, must have missed a few.

I can't reproduce this in UTF-8 mode so far (see attached image). This problem appears here only if I change the website charset to ISO-8859-1.

Perhaps your webhost set ISO-8859-1 as default charset under /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset ? In this case the server would ignore the UTF-8 encoding and always use ISO-8859-1.

Hi, I am still there. I tried everything I could try but it didn't work for me. So, I've done a new installation and didn't change anything on the code this time. There is only one "article" containing

Page Title: название страницы,
Description: описание,
Keywords: ключевые слова,
Content: содержание.

On my page, Page Title:название страницы, that looks quite different. (Before you ask, the database has utf-8 general ci.)

I have Community Edition 2.0.4 as of today.

I am on a shared server, PHP version: 5.2.6-1+lenny3 and Database Server: MySQL 5.0.51a-24+lenny1.

My first test page is Esselbach Эссельбах Esselbach. You should see there garbadge only.

I included
AddType 'text/html; charset=utf-8' *.htm *.php *.html *.txt *.xml *.xhtml *.inc *.js
into the .htaccess file. That gave correct display of the preview (the meta charset=UTF-8 dont give you that) but the display in the contentteller editor is still screwed up. An accept-charset="utf-8" for the forms didnt solve this problem either.

IMO it would be a good idea to get rid of all the ISO and Win and what so ever encodings and stick with unicode only.

It seems to work fine on my local installation. Where do you get this problem? Are you running the latest version?

My example didnt work as this forum displays chracters correctly. I was talking about &#<number>; representation.
