Disappearing special or language specific characters

Problem

Special or language specific characters transforms to question marks or other unreadable symbols after saving changes on a page.

The problem is collation settings of your database.

Solution

  • Open PhpMyAdmin
  • select your database
  • go to Operations tab
  • set collation to utf8_general_ci
  • press "Go"

There is no way to recover broken symbols. You need to put your content once again.
