Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Unicode characters (especially Indian Languages - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indic) get garbled on submission.
Check the screenshot (attached).
Guess the issue is with some non-Unicode compliant API that is used over the data after submission. (Doesn't happen with bookreview module, though).

sergio@www.s3006.com.br commentedI am using Drupal 4.6.3 with movie review... This is working fine: http://www.s3006.com.br/node/135
This happens only with moviereview or with other kind of nodes as well?
Please, point me to some characters you are trying to include so I can try to reproduce them
Btw... The thext on the site is just something i grabbed from wikipedia... I dont know what that means... Once you see it, I will delete the entry

hpn commentedwell, the URL isn't opening now. Maybe you can put it on wikipedia itself (use Kannada wikipedia - http://kn.wikipedia.org/ for that purpose).
This is happening only with movie review plugin. Everything else is working fine. My guess is that some API that doesn't support Unicode pretty well has been used in the module.

hpn commentedSeems to be a part of the larger issue (http://drupal.org/node/32163). I think its due to the db collation set to utf8. Looks like Unicode works fine with default collation set to latin, but shows up garbled when its set to utf8!
