Hi I had a similar problem with Irish characters not displaying correctly. It was down to browser default character encoding. I overcome this by using the Perl 'Encode' module # use Encode; Where print $x was displaying Irish characters incorrectly, using print encode('utf-8',$x); renders Irish characters correctly. So each time a variable (string) is added to a template I use: $template->param ( testData => encode('utf-8', $data), ); -- Kind Regards Peter Lorimer Software Engineer OSLO (Open Source ILS Systems) -----Original Message----- From: koha-request@lists.katipo.co.nz Reply-to: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Koha Digest, Vol 66, Issue 42 Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 07:11:04 +1200 Re: Accents in Irish Gaelic
