    TinyMCE special character trouble

    Hi,

    I've installed version 4.0.1 of Umbraco, and TinyMCE's special character handling is bothering me.

    First use case
    [] I type "special" characters such as "à" or even the euro symbol
    [    ] I save the page
    [] The special characters have disappeared and were not saved, as a database lookup confirms

    Second use case
    [    ] I type "special" characters such as "à" or even the euro symbol in HTML mode by using the correct HTML equivalents such as "€"
    [] I save the page
    [    ] The special characters have disappeared, as a database lookup confirms

    This did not happen in Umbraco 4.0.0 (maybe beta or code build version X, don't know what I have running on my other sites).

    How to solve this?

    Ruben

    Did you set the TidyCharEncoding to UTF8 instead of RAW in umbracoSettings.config? If not, then try that. It's a known bug in 4.0.1

    Wonderful. Thanks for helping me out.

    Why is it that you are "newbie" but helping "fanatics" like me? ;)

    Because that only depends on how many items you got on the forum. And I must admit I haven't been all that active in the community up till now

    My umbraco version 

    umbraco v 4.5.2 (Assembly version: 1.0.3891.20719)

    Database connection

    I have tried to set this to utf8   -> ;Charset=utf8;Charset=utf8  but no result.
    If I put a € sign into the databse i get a ? on the site and in de Richtext editor which has the ntext setting as database type
    What am I doing wrong?
    thnx for the help.
