== Intro ==

If you see strange characters in your application, like 'This is � special char', you probably use a non-utf8 charset. In this howto I will explain how to make a project with UTF-8 support.

== 3 simple steps ==
=== Database ===
Make sure you create your database with 'MySQL connection collation:' set to ''''utf8_unicode_ci'''', so each table has this collation type.

=== config.inc.php ===
Add the following code to your config.inc.php:
$config_db["default"]["charset"] = "utf8";
$config_default_charset = "utf-8";

=== module_preload.inc ===
For each language you use, you'll have to set the 'charset' in the corresponing languagefile in atk/languages. Since it is not possible to commit these languagefiles in your project, you can solve this as follows:

Add this code to a module_preload.inc to override the 'charset' in your languagefile:
$lang = atkinstance("atk.atklanguage");
$lang->setText("charset", "utf-8", "en");
$lang->setText("charset", "utf-8", "nl");

The module_preload.inc is always loaded, to these settings will apply to the complete application.

== Checking ==
After reloading your website, you should see the ''Unicode (UTF-8)'' option selected (in firefox: View > Character Encoding).
