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?

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
You should, thanks again for the quick response!
