bravo14 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi I am developing a site that needs to be in 3 languages, English Italian and Spanish, the English is displayed correctly however when I change it to show Italian, some of the characters are not displayed correctly, for example the e with the accent at the top. How can I get the letters to display properly regardless of language selected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian F. Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Make sure that you're using UTF-8 at every single step, that includes the DB and HTTP headers. I recommend reading at least these two articles: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/Articles/Unicode.html http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-php-unicode/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
