Unicode charactors replaces with "????" how to fix

Hi

I am trying to have some words using my native language,sinhala, in my blog. But when I add those characters into the editor and save it, there are replaced with ?? signs.

Is it something wrong with the database charset ?, does anyone know how to fix this problem.

Thanx a lot in advance

My installation details are

php version: 5.2.9
Apache version: 2.2.11
MySql version: 5.0.81

Modx version 1

In your Manager, go to Reports -> System Info. You’ll see your database’s information listed; what you are interested in is Database Charset and Database Collation Charset. These as well as your MODx configuration should be utf-8.

If they are not, the only thing I can suggest (if your site is still very new and you don’t have a lot of content yet) is to re-install, with a new database created with utf8 and utf-8_unicode_ci collation.

It is nice to see that MODx is being used in Sri Lanka. If you need more help be sure to ask again. The people on this forum are very helpful.

Thanx a lot Susan it worked YAY...

I changed the database collation using phpMyAdmin and then reinstalled. Thanks a lot for the help.

And, rfoster, when a CMS/CMF is free fast and flexible, it would be not nice if people around the whole world don’t start using it. Thanx a lot.
