French Characters

Good morning,

Using both Chrome and Internet explorer, we are having issues having the system recognize French characters such as accent aigue or accent circonflexe when creating meeting agendas.

Is there a specific server for French content? Thank you!

I've had a similar problem with Māori characters (using macrons). There appears to be an issue with accented characters in emails sent from the website. That includes meeting agendas, but also other emails.

There's no specific server for French or other non-English content. I suspect that this is due to a bug.

FTH supports the UTF-8 character set for the website and emails.
We don't support double byte characters or windows UTF-10
Thank you,

I've been using Linux with UTF-8 characters. (Thunderbird email client.)

The issue applies only to emails sent using the site email system. E.g. the agenda. Emails sent through the server using Thunderbird aren't affected. And of course, extended UTF-8 characters can be used in web pages. Also in the agenda IF it is viewed in a browser.

I'm happy to do some testing if that would help.

People running a different character sets should see square boxes or diamonds. This problem is causing characters to drop out altogether.

E.g. māori would render as mori and café as caf
