Hi,

I'm using DNN version 4.8.0 and I'm having trouble displaying some special characters in my modules.

Take a look at the screenshot:

Screenshot

As you can see, the module on the left pane displays special characters like ç, õ, ã. You can also see in the BreadCrumb that special characters are displayed.

But on the content pane, characters like ç, õ, ã, À, ú are missing. However, when i retrieve data from my database to display in GridViews for example, all charaters are displayed

When i run the module out of DNN (using Visual Studio) all the characters are displayed.

I added Culture="pt-PT" UICulture="pt-PT" in the Default.aspx file and changed globalization in web.config to <globalization culture="pt-PT" uiCulture="pt-PT" requestEncoding="iso-8859-1" responseEncoding="iso-8859-1" fileEncoding="iso-8859-1"/>. I also installed the Portuguese language pack.

I apologize if my post is on the wrong section. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Tiago Costa.

you should stick to UTF-8, this will support all special characters.

If a conponent like a module or skinobject used for the menu is not displaying special characters, it is most likely an issue of the module, which menu does your site use?

After searching the forum a little more and trying a lot of things i found a solution. I'll post here because maybe it can work for others too.

In Visual Studio, i selected File > Advanced Save Options... and changed the encoding to Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) - Codepage 65001 and saved the file.

I did that for all my User Controls and it worked.

Thanks S. Leupold for the quick reply and i'll take your advice and change the web.config encoding to UTF-8.
