FCKeditor is writing special characters as HTML 4 mnemonic not UTF-8.

[Alfredo C.]

Hello,

I am using UTF-8. I checked the encoding for the database, the web pages, the server, and all of then are correct: UTF-8, But KCFeditor is writing the special characters as HTML 4 mnemonic not UTF-8.

I posted the issue in the forum with various images that shows the problem, but no body answered. I am wondering if this is a bug?. Please, can some developer see in to this problem. I you want to see what I am saying please see this forum post, the images are posted there.

I did a test with phpMyAdmin and is writing UTF-8 with no problem, but FCKeditor don't. Everything is documented in the images on that post.

I would very much appreciate if you can clarify is this is a bug or am I doing something wrong.

I am using FCKeditor 2.4.3 I am also attaching those images to this ticket.

Thank you very much, Best Regards Alfredo

Hello,

Thanks to a forum user that answered my private message I got the solution:

1.- in xhtml files: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=windows-1252" />

2.- in MySQL database: DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;

3.- FCKeditor requires a change in the configuration file: fckconfig.js in line 65 true for false in the following instruction:

FCKConfig.IncludeLatinEntities = false ; /* This way worked fine for Spanish */

So it is not a Bug.

You can delete this ticket, I will post this solution in my forum topic.

Sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you very much Best Regards Alfredo
