Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

I tried reporting a new issue/adding a note in Chinese. I was shown ???? instead of the actual Chinese character. I tried this on both mantis version 1.1.1 and 1.2.0a1 and both failed. Can anyone help me?? Is this an existing problem or it has been resolved. I tried searching the forum but i can't really get what I want. Thanks

I meet same issue, can anyone help?

Same here. Although, mines korean.

before install, set the collate of the target database into a utf8 collate, for example utf8_general_ci. Then everything will be fine.

hi blueven, i have tried that but still not working, any other remedy for this? I will appreciate your help

for a mysql install i did the following, went to "edit mysqql settins" and set the default charset to "UTF8".

I'm running japanese on 1.2.0rc2 with no problems, other than graphing, after making that db setting change.

Albeit a MySql issue, including this in the mantis installation instructions as a footnote or something, might help those people who will be using a UTF8 system.

please enter an issue for the documentation update in MantisBT's own tracker
