I can say about my practice, though I work with russian letters. I use MySQL 4.1 as DB which has good UTF8 support. You should set utf8 as default encoding for new databases and the text fields. When connecting, you should send "set names 'utf8'" query to DB. I send this query in patched file dbo_mysqli.php (cake/libs/model/dbo/ folder).
The only problem I noticed is the HTML-link helper, which didn't use encoding parameter. But I think it's fixed now. Anyway you can open the source and change it to whatever you like. As for filenames, I use only basic latin letters.

For some german (and other) chars is this very important. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
