Swedish characters

    I import a page with some mysql-data into a WordPress page. The swedish characters are exchanged with something ‘different’.

    If I open the page which is imported it’s in plain swedish, but something’s happening when imported to a WordPress page.

    Anybody has a solution to that?

  • The database itself – mysql – might be imposing it’s own encoding.
    If you are familiar with phpmyadmin, you could look inside the database to see how it has stored the letters.
    If they are different there, it’s a database problem.
    If they are the same there, it’s after that – post back if it is ?

    Very strange. Today it works! I’ve done nothing but had a good nights sleep:)
    Yesterday I had to rewrite every swedish character with special characters. Tonight I don’t!
    Well, I better not worry, just accept it…!

    The problem has recurred!
    mysql stores my swedish caracters; I can see them in phpmyadmin. If I open a separate html-page with my mysql-data and charset=iso-8859-1 everything works all-right (but not in utf-8). but when I try to import my data in WordPress it doesn’t – as I use utf-8 in WP.
    I’ve tried to change the separate page’s charset to a different charset, but that did’nt help. (And I don’t want to.)

    How do I control which charset the data in mysql is put in?
    It seems it would be best to have it in utf-8 there?
    How do I do that?
