I am trying to input some characters in a welsh text on my site. Specifically ŵ (ŵ) and ŷ (ŷ). But they are simply sonverted to question marks when the page is saved.
Page encoding is set to utf-8. When I disable the rich text editor it works fine, so it’s obvioulsy not the database encoding. I just want to make it work with the rich text editor on. Any ideas.
Thanks.
Same problem here, with italian characters - eg. "è" è.
Tried on Revo 2.1.3 and 2.2.0. - changed entity_encoding in System settings panel. Tried "raw", "numeric", "names" - none of these worked. Still question marks instead of original characters.
With another richtext editor - eIRTE, and with disabled rte - there are no problems.
Check your database and make sure the DB, all tables, and all fields are set to UTF-8.
If not, see this:

Thank you for this tip. I tried to set db from latin to utf-8, but I failed. My db-skills are very low.
Since this site was very small, I decided to quickly build it up from scratch (three hours) with proper utf-8 db. Works fine now.
I'm glad you got it worked out. Thanks for reporting back.
