Special Characters Display Issue

Special Characters Display Issue in Page Title

Hi everyone,

I am learning to work with the French language in the admin panel. However, when I enter special characters like Noël's "ë" in the page title, they do not display correctly on the website. Instead, they are replaced with strange characters.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem and can provide a solution?

Thanks a lot!
Lucasmit :)

What does

Code: Select all

$config['locale'] = 
in config.php look like?

You could try (depending on your language):
$config['locale'] = 'de_DE.UTF-8';
or
$config['locale'] = 'fr-FR.UTF-8';
