    Hi,

    I wish to use the Digital Point free search engine on my website, but my site is in french and all my characters like éèëêàäâç wont work on my website.

    They claim :
    "This system will work with any language/character set."
    but actually, I'm testingon my site and won't work. :mad:

    If someone can help me on that, I don't think I can actually do something for that myself.

    Here's the link for my page, try to search for 'mbrdev', you will see a lot of an A with a tilt on it and mostly following by a Copyright symbol.

    thanks a lot,

    You need to set your charset on the page to unicode (UTF-8), like so:

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

    Sorry, can't help with the rest of your site, I only know about the search engine.
