    broken - chinese characters turn into mush

    I think I broke my forum posting... It has the title as listed above and returns a parsing error everytime I try and view it... Sorrrrry!

    So all chinese characters turn into ??????? in the umbraco backend when I'm using a rishtext editor.

    @Jan - the gb2322 didn't work nor did ISO2022. I also tried toggling the tidy cleanup option. That didn't work either. I also tried changing the toggle inside the tinemceeditor.config from raw to utf8 and iso2022 and that didn't work either.

    Should something be set to unicode somewhere?

    Thanks.

    Solution - I needed to change my database to work properly with chinese characters.

    set character_set_client = utf8                                                                                       
    set character_set_connection = utf8                                                                            
    set character_set_database = utf8                                                                      
    character_set_results = utf8                                                                            
    character_set_server = utf8                                                                       
    character_set_system = utf8

    I also added a "charset=ut8" into my web.config connection code.

    Cheers!

    Hi Chau, I wonder how to configure the database to make Umbraco display Chinese characters correctly. Where the settings you wrote in the second post should be placed? I use Mysql,and I meet with the problem like you did. Thanks! Could you send your answer to my inbox at postzmaster(at)yahoo.com?

    Ethan,

    You have to enter it into a mysql command line.
