I'm trying to get this character on my Evo 1.0.5 website: ō
Html code: & #x14D;
Somehow TinyMce makes it a: ? after saving, even when i paste it into the html of TinyMce.
The insert symbol doesn't have this character. It's a Japanese character.
Anyone knows a solution? Is it possible to add this into the insert symbol table? Do i need to change the theme of the TinyMCE settings?

What is the character set of your database?

You might want to go to the Configuration tab of TinyMCE and select "raw" from the Entity Encoding field.
Hmm, the raw didn't work,
I see some coalition: latin1_swedish_ci

That will be a problem. Unless you're using UTF8 or a specific Japanese character set it can't be saved. It'll just show garbage or ?
I think i can solve the problem
I have a website where i already changed the coalition into UTF-bin (for chinese language).
After testing it seems to work.
Need to change the coalition, thought it was specific japanese but isn't actually.

The instructions here are for switching to UTF-8 (which might solve your problem), but you can use them to switch to any character set/collation:

I have changed all to utf8 only the table which needs to be changed i get an error.
modx_site_content table: (content, pagetitle and description)
SQL-query:
ALTER TABLE `modx_site_content` CHANGE `content` `content` MEDIUMTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NULL DEFAULT NULL
MySQL retourneerde: Documentatie
#1283 - Column 'content' cannot be part of FULLTEXT index
Fulltext is not a (type) option.

Fourroses666, did you follow all the steps at the link I provided?
I've seen that error, but it's been so long that I can't remember what the solution is.

Perhaps you could remove the FULLTEXT index (it's made up of pagetitle, description and content), alter the table, then re-create the index.
Looking at this, I have to wonder why description? I would think that longtitle and introtext would be much more useful.
