Foreign Character Encoding Issue

Description

Hi,

I just checked version 2.1.0_005 and the issue of incorrectly drawing characters is better, but still not completely fixed; at least it did not take down Sakai. As the attached screen image will show, the Title of an assignment is mangled; for comparison, the title should be the same as is shown in the assignment body.

A separate, but related additional note: in another test, I have foreign characters in the title of a MS Word document I uploaded as an assignment attachment. When the title was stored in the database, the foreign characters were replaced by regular characters. That is, "Fore[accent grave]ign Do[accent acute]cument.doc" is in the database as "Foregin Document.doc."

Hope this is clear and makes sense.

Jim

Bulk closing issues that have not been updated since 2015 and earlier. Please reopen if this is still an issue and you have new information or if this is a feature you'd like to still have consideration for.

This is no longer an issue for 2.6.x and 2.7.x. Do we have a test instance for 2.5.x?

To Zhen.

This issue still had an estimated Fix Version which indicates it will be addressed for the 2.4.0 release; however, the issue is not flagged as a Blocker, therefore, the issue will not be included in the release and its Fix Version is being reset to "Unknown". If you have an updated esitmate of when this issue will likely be addressed, such as 2.5.0 [Tentative], please update the Fix Version accordingly.
