Special letter
ErollorD - January 6, 2007 - 14:26
Hi
Is there any solution, maybe code change or some editor which can input special letters into my website. Because as I know, drupal is not supporting them, well some of them.
Like š, ž are supported but not:
č,ć,đ
Is there a fix for this???
I am not sure I understand.
I am not sure I understand. Didn't you just enter those characters here?
It works here
they work on main drupal site which is modified, but on default drupal site these characters don't work. They are replaced with ?
Drupal works in Unicode
Drupal works in Unicode (UTF-8). It lets you enter any characters in any language even on the same page. This is true even when you use an old MySQL version which does not support Unicode.
Have you installed any WYSIWYG editor or additional input filters?
If not, this may be a bug, but then you must give all the details about what you are using.
What?
Even if I use default input or install fckeditor, I still get ?. I remember that a while ago I read that drupal wasn't built to support these letters...
Drupal supports Unicode as
Drupal supports Unicode as long as I remember. Personally I write in Greek and I can also add any language characters. I don't know much about Fckeditor, it is a different matter.
There must be some other problem.
UTF-8
I don't know where you read it, but it's not true.
The problem you are encountering is not with Drupal, but with your installation. Using Firefox, look at the properties of any page on your site. It should be text/html, with charset utf-8. These values are set by Drupal in common.inc and if they're not coming out of your webserver, than something is seriously misconfigured.
In addition, the theme typically will set the same values with an HTML meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />The utf-8 charset can represent not only latin diacritics, as used in your local language, but also completely different alphabets such as Cyrillic, Greek and Arabic.
What operating system, Web server, PHP version, etc., are you running on your server?
it might not a drupal
it might not a drupal problem but a fonts problem
some truetype fonts just do not have those letters and display a ? or some other character.
or it might be that the encoding of you page or database is somewhere messed up

Help!
Well I installed everything using fantastico and no changed to the code. Mysql MySQL connection collation: is set to utf8_unicode_ci but still nothing works.
Must I add "character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci"
and get
`hi` varchar(255) character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL default ''
maybe a module?
Sorry I don't remember the name, but I do rember stumbling over a module recently that would translate any chars input into their long names. you know the ampersand would be & type of thing. With that installed you sould be able to do all sorts of chars.

Hi
Help me to find this module. I know about ampersand, for example č is & #269; (write together)...
here is the test on official (almost) demo site and č,ć,đ are NOT working..

You are right, the demo in
You are right, the demo in opensourcecms is borked.
But in a testing 4.7 installation of mine it works as it should.

And I am not even using a Mysql version with unicode support (it is on MySQL 4.0).

Edit: I also tested on a local 4.7.5 installation with MySQL 5 and everything appears correctly.
I wouldn't be surprised if Fantastico is doing something wrong.
have a look at the
have a look at the accents.module in the download area.
Thanks!
It's working now, it seems there was a problem with Collation in mysql...
Cyrillic Character Renderings in Drupal
I am having the same problem and have to use HTML character entities to get Cyrillic to appear properly on a testbed site. This would be a big PITA having to cut and paste all this and a nightmare to edit.
Is that the only solution (char. entities)? I'd love to know about this plugin also.
@erollord: What version of MySQL are you using? Wondering if that could be my issue as well.

If the cause of your problem
If the cause of your problem is the same, then it is probably the defaullt character set and collation of your database and tables. Check with phpMyAdmin to make sure that it is utf8 and not some legacy latin or cyrillic character set/collation.
