</font><font size=2 face="Courier New">Hi Everyone,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">I am having problems with handling special characters like ´ and ’s</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Here is any problem, any help will be appreciated.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Step 1:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">I have a form with method=post</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">name : San José // Note accent mark</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">In my Java code, I print the value recieved -</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">My code: java.getParameter("name")</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">name : San José // accent mark has changed</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Write this value to Mysql DB (name field is of type varchar)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">name field in table has value: San José // Same as input, works !</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">---------------------------</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Step 2:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">In edit mode (EditBackoffice)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">name : San Jos[] </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">// Accent is replaced by a new special character [](looks like a square) on IE</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">// and looks like ? on Firebird</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">In my Java code, I print the value recieved -</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">name : San Jos� // [] is replace by another special character</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Write this value to Mysql DB</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">name field in table has value: San Josý // Different from the initial input value</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">opencms 5final,tomcat and templates have utf-8 encoding.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Any idea what is going on ?</font>
