Proper way yo set Charset ?

Hi all,

My website is showing charset=UTF-8 when loading and therefore I have some � marks.

Looking at the template it has content="text/html; charset=__page_charset__" 

What, or where does it defines the encoding?

(I've found ticket 3098 but it's 2 years old...)

Thanks

The charset is suppose to be UTF-8

So that is correct. Where are you seeing these marks? Best guess is you may have a database table that does not have the proper character set so is not storing things correctly. But without knowing exactly where the marks are appearing and for which module, it will not be possible to determine what tables to have you look at.

Thanks for coming back.

It is showing on the groups page m/groups/browse/my (on the twig-unit) description snippet

I've just checked the DB and searched for CHARSET, all them are showing CHARSET=utf8; (see file attached)

ok, I went to the editor and change the ' into the respective html entity ' and it showed perfect, then went back to put the ' again, and it was already there, no more html entity.

Can it be related to the editor itself?

More a possible problem with the module rather than the editor. The ' (apostrophe or single quote) is a common problem in some areas. Used to be more common than it is now, but some modules still have bugs.

If you are able to continually repeat the problem in the groups module, then it should be reported as a possible bug.

OK, can be.

The module is a copy of the groups module originally provided in this post

Maybe it was copied from an old version of the group module.

Now testing I can say that it only happen to this "artist" module (i'll do a compare session between the artists and the original groups module to see what's different)

Thanks!
