Encoding issue with Insert

Hi!
We're using Turkish characters. Database is configured according to utf8.
There is no problem about file names. We can use Turkish characters.

On the other hand, when we create content with Turkish characters, some characters transform into ? character.

Yet, when the content is updated and saved again, there is no problem about Turkish characters. User can see Turkish characters instead of ? character.

What is the problem?

Hi all,

First of all, Sorry for a long period of time to response. It was a busy month.

I solved problem with MySQL. I dumped database and recreated it with utf8 so everything is ok now  Smiley Tongue

So I can use : db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8


Cheers

Good.  I don't really understand why Alfresco don't recommend using utf-8 with MySQL by default.
Few users are likely to gain significantly from not doing so, and they will probably be those
most likely to know who they are.  For the rest, this is just a problem waiting to happen.
