International characters display in WYSIWYG but lose all formatting once you revise/post

Description

International characters display in WYSIWYG but lose all formatting once you revise/post. They turn into a meaningless string of characters such as that shown below:

¿è¯´ï¼¿æ¸©å¿²æ¿¯æ±¿è¥¿äººï¼¿ä»¿å¹´30夿å²�_毿丿亿贵å- ¿å¤§å­¦ä¸­æ-¿ç³»ï¼¿æ¿¾æ¿...任㿿å�¿æ-¹é¿½å¸¿æ¿¥ã¿¿ä¸¿è¿¿è®°è¿...ç«¿è®°è¿..._å�¿æ¿...任该濥ç¼-è¾'_翰任㿿å�¿æ-¹é¿½å¸¿æ¿¥ã¿¿ä¸­å±±è®°è¿...ç«¿ç«¿é¿¿ã¿¿

Accents on English characters also do not display after posting announcements and revising announcements but display correctly when you copy/paste them into the WYSIWYG editor

I don't know if this has been resolved or not.

If a Sakai installation doesn't follow the proper installation procedures, they can get this broken international character behavor. For example, with MySQL it is necessary that the DB be created with UTF-8 as the default character set. For all DBs, its necessary that "URIEncoding=UTF-8" be specified in server.xml. Both of these conditions are documented in the install documentation.

Can we have an update? If this is fixed please note the SVN revisions implementing the fix.

Nabar,

Can you provide details of which international characters you tried to post?

I think this bug is fixed, but it would be helpful if you could email me the characters that you tried to post.

Thanks,
