UTF-8 characters problem in Categories

Recommended Posts

Is your collation in your database utf-8?

 

If you have 2.3 then the language encoding for categories will be the same as the rest of the site

 

a couple of checks you can make:

 

view the page source about 3 or 4 lines down it will tell you the encoding for the page

 

also in your browser view menu is character encoding this should be automatically set to the same encoding as shown in the page source (if it isn't you have a browser fault)

 

If the encoding checks out as utf-8 just choose Western(ISO-8859-1) if this corrects the fault when the page reloads then the problem is more likely to be with the database collation

My store is currently running Phoenix 1.0.3.0

I'm currently working on 1.0.7.2 and hope to get it live before 1.0.8.0 arrives (maybe 🙄 )

I used to have a list of add-ons here but I've found that with the ones that supporters of Phoenix get any other add-ons are not really neccessary

I figured it out. It was problem in a database.php under the /functions. Another problem: When I enter Category name throw admin area it shows up like ??? ???? , but when I enter category name throw phpMyAdmin it shows up correctly. What can be wrong with admin area?

Ok what about the collation for the categories table and fields - you have to view the structure to check
