CKEditor displays strange characters

Hi,

Please help me with this one:

I've recently installed the latest CKeditor and love it! The only issue i'm having is when i'm sending out an email with the following "uncommon" letters such as "ê or ë" (when im clicking the source button in the editor they are showing as: "<p>ê</p>" and "<p>ë</p>" ) then it converts it to funny (i think chinese) characters like "겥" or "묠" in Outlook, but in any web-based email clients such as Gmail it shows those letters fine.

Is it some config settings I need to change, so those will show fine in both Outlook and Gmail etc.

Thanks in advance.

Add this code to your config.js file and see if it helps:

You've got some problems with

You've got some problems with characters encoding. Check that your server works in UTF-8, your database too, your pages and everything is served in UTF-8 and that emails your system sends are also correctly encoded.

Thanks for this! I saw that

Thanks for this! I saw that my database table (where the email messages are stored) is encoded in latin1 , so i assume I need to change that to utf8? Let me try that.Also will try to set html_entities.latin to false. As those characters are of latin format.
