Lack of proper unicode support #33

Closed Bjwebb closed 10 years ago

Bjwebb commented 10 years ago

The page is declared as UTF-8, but I suspect the database might actually be using Windows-1252, since I can add characters not in ascii (but in Windows-1252), like é just fine. However, if I try to add some other characters, I get returned question marks when I save it. E.g. αβγ becomes ???

Actually, double checking this, it looks like the database might be using Windows-1252, I've updated my description accordingly.

The database was using the default latin1_swedish_ci collation. It has now been changed to utf8_unicode_ci. Thus, the database now supports all unicode characters.
