Russian and Chinese editing with Concrete 5
Sunday, March 21st, 2010
It is not enough to add a Character set to your Template // or store it in UTF-8 without BOM (so the headers attached by PHP won't break).
If TinyMCE only displays gibberish instead of the Russian / Chinese / … text you entered in edit mode, you should edit your .htaccess (located in the root directory of your site) and add the following:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Optionally, while you're at it, you can enable caching for your site:
#Speed UP!
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 years"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 30 seconds"
</IfModule>
