I did some Tests of FCKeditor UTF-8 encoding using phpMyAdmin.
After days of waiting response from this forum with nobody answering my posts since february 27:
http://www.fckeditor.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8762
yesterday I decided to change to UTF-8 based on this link:
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/490
But same problem, my search script do not work with text from FCKeditor, but if I modify the content of the text field from phpMyAdmin the search works!!
1.- In Conclusion
1.1 FKCeditor needs a setup to work with UTF-8, that I do not know, or
1.2 there is a bug in FCKeditor with UTF-8 encoding, because it is sending HTML mnemonic
ñ
instead of UTF-8 ñ
Thanks a lot

Re: FCK UTF-8 encoding-FCKeditor not working with special charac
Hello,
Thanks to a forum user that answered my private message I was provided with the solution:
1.- in xhtml files: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=windows-1252" />
2.- in MySQL database: DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;
3.- FCKeditor requires a change in the configuration file: fckconfig.js in line 65 true for false in the following instruction:
FCKConfig.IncludeLatinEntities = false ; /* This way worked fine for Spanish */
So it is not a Bug. But for me UTF-8 did not work with FCKeditor. So better not use UTF-8, use the above 3 steps if you work with Spanish language.
Thanks a lot to the nice fellow that show me the solution.
Best Regards
