UTF8 probleme

[arkadia2006]

Hello,

I want to store in the database all the string in UTF-8

Exemple for the letter "à" it's will be "Ã " that will be store in the database !

So i use my.ini i write :

default-character-set=utf8

and this all what i do !

It's seem to work well except that i have a strange bug :
when i write letter like "é" it's work ok (i see correctly "é" in the database), but if i write a letter like "à" i see : "Ã*" in place of "à " ???

Where is the probleme ??

More hard i i manually update the table in the database replacing "Ã*" by "Ã " it's don't show me good caractere in the html result (it's still show me "Ã*") !!

What i do wrong?

Hello, what the good practice to put all the forum in UTF8 format?

thanks you by advance

vBulletin and UTF8 is a pita for me too.
Had the very same problem like you, it seems to be caused by the
Wordfilter, more precisely the Character filter. Just delete everything in the
box on your wordfilter saying something like "filter invisible characters.
It should contain something like "160 173 uXXXX uXXXX ..."
It seems you can't tell vB which character set you want to use, it just
handles everything as latin1 internally.
