rooofl Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I have trouble to render special characters with a textarea field: once special characters are entered in the textarea field (eg: å), it appears as � on the website. This textarea is a character map for a type showcase, so I need UTF8 support, my HTML header is set to charset=utf-8, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn Geerts Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Could be a malformed template file. Try to delete the templates and create new valid ones. (Copy code from old to new) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I would also check database setting: database character encoding should be utf-8 template files need to be utf-8 encoded HTML-Output need to be utf-8 encoded (header) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooofl Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Many thanks for your replies. This issue was due to a hand crafted function using substr(). I used mb_substr() instead and it solved the encoding issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
