Getting weird characters in text in Drupal ... maybe encoding problems, but how to solve

Question

Good day.

On my Drupal site, weird characters appear in the text. For example, instead of what I expect from "ideéenbus", I get De ide enbus (I hope this comes out right here)

Now this is due to a character encoding problem. But how can I install this in Drupal? Or is this what you need to install in the database? Hope someone can help.

Thanks. Marco

Answer 1

In order to have good coding experience in Drupal and PHP in general, all elements must have the same encoding, ideally UTF8, or they must be aware of the differences and act accordingly.

:

• : . db.
• : - ?
• -: apache. Firefox, , " " .
• drupal: drupal UTF-8 (. http://drupal.org/node/8408), .

Answer 2

. , UTF-8.
