Hi Thanks for the answers. I have changed to utf8, both overall and at each report. It helped, now the reports are generated correctly. The problem is now, when I see the reports with a browser, the characters are not printed correctly.
I have tried Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Edge, same result. So it's a browser problem now, as Tom mentioned, and I'll try to see how I can change this. Thanks again for great support.
