hi, sorry that i ask at the mailing list. But i did't find anything usefull eleswhere. my problem is that whenever a special character is displayed on the page I only see a question mark. The wiki is set to UTF-8. the strange thing is that when I surf to e.g. wikipedia it is displayed correct. When I look at the sourcecode of the generated page There is a difference between my page and the one of wikipedia. All the special characters in my page are only one char ( e.g. a german ä ) but on Wikipedia they are two chars. in my LanguageDe.php all the text is saved in the two char form ( e.g. À ) which I think is the correct UTF-8 form. but when it reaches my browser it has changed. my wiki can be found at: http://angel.homelinux.org/wiki/
Can someone help me? Clemens
p.s. sorry for my bad english iam not an native english speaker. (German)
Your working code is Latin-1

Check again your Local settings

p.s. my config can be found at:
Change $wgUseLatin1 = false; to $wgUseLatin1 = true;
If you want the site in UTF-8, you have to install it again and select UTF language support in the process of installation.

It is working also on my german replica http://de.unipedia.info where $wgUseLatin1 = false;
