[xwiki-users] Xwiki encoding for french language

Hello everyone, I recently tried to insert french language characters (é, è, à) in xwiki.atc.ch for: 1. Validation Email content 2. Confirmation Email content (under Home>Administer Wiki>Users and Groups>Registration) but when we register, we get the above mentioned characters as "?" in the email. I changed encoding to UTF-8 for xwiki encoding and html encoding (as per http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Encoding) and reloaded tomcat6 and apache, but it still displays "?" characters in the email received. Anyone have an idea of how to proceed please? *also, I found http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2007-March/002944.html - saying to change mysql encoding (which I didn't perform till now), is it recommended? (other apps/websites are running on the same server) Thanking you in advance, Regards, Mike Migale Mike Migale Solero Royal Road, Moka 80829 T: +230 650 8880 E: info(a)solero.mu
