News module problem w/ special characters

[lausianne]

Hi,

I just tried to enter some news items into the news module. Technically it seems to work fine, except for a detail:

Foreign characters (ü, ä, etc.) are replaced by a question mark in a black diamond: �
So I tried to use ü etc. in the source code - to no avail: At first the characters show up correctly (when switching from source to WYSIWYG). After a save, the correct characters are again replaced by the question mark signs.

I do not have this problem with the rest of my WB site.

Thanks for your help!

Charset ... check out the charset (in Template, WB and MySQL).

Thanks for the instant reply.
As I said, it works fine with the rest of WB, so it's not a charset problem (at least not on WB main level). Rather some problem with the module.
Where can I check the charset of single modules?

[kweitzel]

They should take the options of WB. Otherwise, you'll need to check the files associated to a module manually ...

cheers

I posted a, hopefully correct, solution here:
