Fixed
Work for version Jot 1.1.4
In file ’includes/jot.install.db.sql’ you need add "DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8" to every create table statement, and DROP TABLE `jot_content`, `jot_fields`, `jot_subscriptions`.
Or copy-paste this

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `{PREFIX}jot_content` (
  `id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `title` varchar(255) default NULL,
  `tagid` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `published` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
  `uparent` int(10) NOT NULL,
  `parent` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `flags` varchar(25) default NULL,
  `secip` varchar(32) default NULL,
  `sechash` varchar(32) default NULL,
  `content` mediumtext,
  `mode` int(1) NOT NULL default '1',
  `createdby` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `createdon` int(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `editedby` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `editedon` int(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `deleted` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
  `deletedon` int(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `deletedby` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `publishedon` int(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `publishedby` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `parent` (`parent`),
  KEY `secip` (`secip`),
  KEY `tagidx` (`tagid`),
  KEY `uparent` (`uparent`)
) TYPE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `{PREFIX}jot_subscriptions` (
  `id` mediumint(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `uparent` mediumint(10) NOT NULL,
  `tagid` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `userid` mediumint(10) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `uparent` (`uparent`),
  KEY `tagid` (`tagid`),
  KEY `userid` (`userid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `{PREFIX}jot_fields` (
  `id` mediumint(10) NOT NULL,
  `label` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `content` text,
  KEY `id` (`id`),
  KEY `label` (`label`)
) TYPE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Or if you don`t want reinstall snippet Jot and lost you comments, you can change charset to UTF8 of `jot_content`, `jot_fields`, `jot_subscriptions` tables (and you would must decoding to UTF8 existing comments).

Påkrævede felter er markeret med: *.

I got same problem with ä,ö. I tried use html entities, like ä(ä) but it didn’t work for me. I’m using UTF-8, but not sure about my db connection type.

I have the same problem, only with danish characters, æ ø å. It works when i use HTML entities! But since the entire Jot snippet has not been translated into danish, i have to change the code directly. I am editing: "chunk.form.inc.html".

Trying to change:

Required fields are marked with *.

This works:

Påkrævede felter er markeret med: *.

This does NOT work:

Påkrævede felter er markeret med: *.

It takes forever if i have to change every piece of text like this, because øåæ is quite common in danish.
I am using UTF-8 from within MODx!

German umlauts do not harm modx provided that you are using utf-8 encoding for your site and utf-8 character set for connections with your database. I’ve added your phrase "Sie haben keine gültige E-Mail-Adresse eingegeben" to my validation clause in Jot and it was working fine. I guess that your umlaut might have been entered as html entity ü but entities cannot be entered while passing parameters because starting ampersand is conflicting with character marking the parameter itself -> &validate=`...ü...`.

I can confirm this. Wanted to output "Sie haben keine gültige E-Mail-Adresse eingegeben" ended in "Sie haben keine". I now use "echte" instead of "gültige", although the meaning differs slightly.

Hi all,

I’m just testing the Jot snippet, and I wanted to change the &validate parameter. But suddenly it didn’t work anymore and I found out that the "Umlaut" (German characters - ä, ö and ü) has bugged modx. However, I’ve changed it from ü to ue and then it worked well. But nevertheless it would be cool if the characters would work.
