I've been trying to make Magento support some french characters but haven't got any success so far.
The French text that I would want to display is:
Vous aimerez peut-être aussi
But somehow, it appears like this:
Its been the same with several other characters. Magento does use UTF-8 by default, but still these characters are not being displayed (surprisingly, because StackOverflow is using UTF-8 and is able to display the characters)
I noticed that ISO-8859-1 is able to display them, tried to change the default character encoding by editing the following file:
app/code/core/Mage/Page/etc/config.xml
And changed the node <default_charset>
's value to ISO-8859-1
.
Now Firefox displays the following in Page Info, and the text is still not being displayed properly:
I am using Eclipse to edit the phtml
files and often these french texts are being generated by php code.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
