Hi, Last week I upgraded from Debian 4 to Debian 5, all seemed to have gone well except that foreign characters show up as gibberish. (used to show properly) example: http://piggymoo.com/forum/nodame-ca...o-a-sup3-a-iquest-a-frac14-a-a-not-t5330.html Nodame Cantabile (ã®ã ã‚Âカンタービレ) should be Nodame Cantabile (ã®ã ã‚カンタービ) Also in phpmyadmin this shows up as gibberish. For all new posts(posted after updating) the foreign characters work normally... phpinfo: http://piggymoo.com/phpingo.php I have no idea why this happened, I expect it could be a php issue so I'd be grateful if anyone can help figuring out why this happend.
This is an Apache issue... Go to your httpd.conf file and change... AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 to AddDefaultCharset Off
Hi, Thank you for your suggestion, it got me on the right path! I do not run apache, but nginx with php5-fpm I changed the default charset in php5 to UTF-8 (it was on off) after some trying and it worked! Many thanks!
