[SOLVED] not nice: in backend: no utf-8 in tab description

Hi, I know it's only in the backend (which is not so important), but the tab descriptions doesn't show utf-8 (see image)

Please provide some strings that are causing this issue for you. I need the exact stored strings from _comprofiler_tabs. Please provide them in a forum code block so they are not altered.

if I understand right, it's that:
and an other:

Seams to be working fine for me. Please see the below.




Please ensure your database collation is correctly set to UTF-8 general. Specifically check _comprofiler_tabs table and the its description column.

If the collation is set correctly navigate to System > System Information > PHP Information and check if you've mbstring (just do a page search for it) and that it's set to encode to UTF-8.

If PHP is set correctly then right click and inspect the page and review the header of the HTML. You'll want to make sure content-type meta is properly specifying charset of utf-8.

really strange. What I am doing wrong?

I write normally in the editor window and save. In the frontend it's ok. Only in the description of the backend it's wrong.

my db is utf8_general_ci

The page header could have the wrong charset maybe. Press F12 in Chrome or Firefox to open the developer console. Next look for the following inside <header>.


As those are just HTML names we don't do anything to them. Their display is entirely based off the page encoding and your browser. If all 3 things check out as instructed to check in my previous reply please PM backend super administrator login credentials and will take a look.
