Character encoding problem

[KAIRU26]

I am using the latest updates of PHP. But still I am having the problem of character encoding. Whenever someone posts some new topics on page editor, both Firefox and IE fail to display content properly. It will always show up in special and ugly characters. But I am not 100% sure if this is related character encoding or something else. Is this character encoding related problem something else?

Have you enabled mb_string function at "Site Config", "Editor/HTML" tab? Try to encode it in some different format such as Windows-1256 or UNICODE or UTF-8. If this doesn't work then Arabic (windows-1256) should definitely work.

Try to encode the web page from your database by adding the below line to your table:

ENGINE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET='utf8';

for example:

CREATE TABLE my_table (
...........
) ENGINE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET='utf8';

You can even add the below code in your page. This is tell the browser what encoding schema it has to implement.

<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">
