Re: special characters in mysql
Might want to post *that* question to the TinyMCE forums...? http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/ (I looked through http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Index and did not see anything obvious.)

Re: special characters in mysql
In MS SQL Server, solution is to use nvarchar instead of varchar and ntext instead of text. Not sure about MySQL...

Re: special characters in mysql
Since it sounds like you've already got the column set to receive UTF-8, you'll need to ensure that you're also coding the data going into the database and being displayed. Drop this in your application file or at the top of your global index file or wherever: this codes the characters when displayed: cfcontent type=text/html; charset=UTF-8 this codes the data when a form gets submitted: cfset setEncoding(form, UTF-8) In other words, you need to ensure it's going into the DB in the same way it's getting referenced when you try to display it. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:319475 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: special characters in mysql
With Mysql 5 and CF 8 I needed to add this connection string to the datasource: jdbc:mysql:// 127.0.0.1:3306/utf8demo?allowMultiQueries=truecharacterEncoding=UTF8characterSetResults=UTF8 Also the charset I used in MySql was: utf8 the colation was: utf8_general_ci; After that I was able to insert all the funny accents, Russian charsets and Asian charsets.
