    Danish charactors are not supported

    Hi all

    I am developing site in danish language but instead of some of the letters ? is  displayed.for eg.

    Hoved trklde st

    I am using this DTD 

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html lang="en" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
            <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
            <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
            <link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    </head>

    I have also tried using transitional DTD and in my umbracosettings.config i have TidyCharEncoding as UTF-8.I am using umbraco 6.0

    Thanks Urmila

    Hi Urmila

    Is the editor you're using also saving the documents in the correct utf-8 format?

    Hi Jan

    Thank you for the quick response.I have added dictionary items for some of the fields,so i dont know if the editor provied for dictionary items support UTF-8 format.Also i am using rich text editor for localization of some of the fields in ucommerce and those fields are displayed correctly for danish as well as german language but where  i used longtext datatype for some of the fields those are also not displayed correctly.

    Thanks Urmila.

    Hi Urmila

    Ok, so this is perhaps an issue related to uCommerce if I understand the above description correct?

    Hi Jan

    I guess it's not ucommerce issue because i have added dictionary items in umbraco also and those are not displayed correctly.I don't know if the editor provided for dictionary items allow character encoding.

    Thanks Urmila

    Hi urmila

    Dictionary items should not be a problem. Don't know if your database schema is perhaps running on another charset than UTF-8 perhaps?

    Otherwise try opening your templates in an editor such as visual studio or sublime text and try to choose "save as" and then there should be a place where it says something like "with encoding"...make sure it's utf-8.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Hi Jan

    Sorry for the late replay.You were right some of my database scripts were not in UTF-8 format,so saving them again with UTF-8 format solved the problem

    Thank you

    Hi Urmila

    Glad you got it solved - it's such an annoying issue and it can really cause some head-scratching! :)
