Question

I have configured TWiki to support utf-8. Everything works fine expect that the chinese text may break when edit an existed page with chinese content in a form. I create a topic including a very simple form and save the chinese text in the form. The chinese text can display normally after saved.
a simple form with chinese content
But when I edit this topic, some chinese characters in the form are broken. The broken chinese character changed to another chinese character and following an encoded character in "#nnnn;" format.

See my comment on Bugs:Item2032 - I have some suggestions for debugging and possible workaround.

-- RichardDonkin - 08 Apr 2006

My patch in Bugs:Item2032 worked OK, so this is now closed. Needs to be committed to DevelopBranch though.

-- RichardDonkin - 12 Apr 2006

TWiki 4.1.1 also has the same issue. The patch in Bugs:Item2032 worked fine.
