[opencms-dev] UTF-8 in Title and NavText properties of resource types

[Spyros Michas]

Similar problems came up just a few weeks ago. Check the archives.

Chances are you have not set up your database properly. Make sure that your
tables' character set is UTF-8. Also remember that from Mysql 4.1.x and
onwards, columns within the same table might have different character set
than the table default.

Sorry,

    The problem better written as: when you try to enter Eastern 
European language in the Title or NavText property of any resource type 
you see question marks both in Explorer view of OpenCms and on your 
browser if you click on the resource.
