When I try using swedish characters in XOOPS 2.3, all the text from the first odd charactar and forward disappears.

I installed XOOPS 2.3 and set the charset to utf8 (my SQL database runs utf8 and collation utf8_unicode_ci). The installation wont let me set collation to "utf8_unicode_ci" but nags me with something like "Default character set is not set for XOOPS database". So I leave the collation-field blank and continue with the installation.

Now, when I enter swedish characters Å, Ä, Ö (ä etc.) that database string only saves the text until the first "weird" character... anything else is missing. This is independent of module, tried news, cjay content etc.

Any solutions?

I don't know aboout a solution, but I can confirm the same problem with utf8 on installation.

This will have been noted already by the dev team, I'm sure. Hopefully later releases will have it sorted as its rather fundamental

So it's not just me, then!

I hope this gets fixed soon! If it is a utf8-problem, could I set the charset to latin1.swedish in my mySQL database, perhaps. Could be worth a try!
