How to typin special characters in Editor?

Hi,
i have the following problem:
In our webapp we have to work with documents, writtin in old-german language and so we need special characters, i.e. uͤ but when i enter those utf-8 encding to the editor it is displayed as &#x0075;&#x0364; :-( (
At the moment i hardcode some of those special combinations to the special-character-function, but we need to be able to enter such entities in the editor!

What can i do? How can this be achieved?
Thanks, Marcus

You can take a look at these plugins:

Hi,
thanks for the fast replay!
So if I understand you right, while you only send me links for plugins - that there is no setting in the config that i can disable or something, so that entities like uͤ will be tranformed normaly to the unicode sign instead of tranforming it to &#x0075;&#x0364;???

I don't need another plugin as a function, i was looking forward to a config-setting, so that i can type in just the hex-code and the editor transforms to the unicode sign. I think the old Version 2.3.1 just transformed it right without just replacing the & with an & and leave the rest :-(

Was this a feature only available in the old Editor Version disabled in the last release?
But thanks for pointing to the plugins! The problem there is, that we do not know at the moment which symbols we will need at all, and for that i could not hardcode all of them!

Thanks, Marcus

If you enter those entities in source mode then they should work, or it will be a bug. If you try to enter the entities in design mode, well, you just can't do that and I don't think that you were able to do that in any previous version because everything entered in design mode is automatically encoded. (that's different to pasting or any other way to insert the characters themselves).

RE: How to typin special characters in Editor

Hi,
where can i see which "mode" i use?
I work with OrbeonForms and they provide the possibility to use to Editor in textareas with mediatype="text/html" So when i load my form, the editor loads inside the textarea.
I'm sure that the editor automativaly tranformed those entities u as i typed them in, but now this does not work anymore :-(

So, is there a way to force the editor to transform those entities i typed in into unicode-characters? and if that is possible, how can i do that configuration! Every help is appreciated.

Thanks, Marcus
