There are some Chinese characters in my templates. It renders as some unreadable code, please help.
Many people in this forum declare that umbraco is a multilingual supported CMS, I doubt if it truely is.

Well, http://cn.hasselblad.com/ is running Umbraco, so it is definitely possible to use chines characters in both content and even in url's!

Have you told the browser to use utf8?

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Are you having these issues with characters or only some? Have you verified that the current font supports "big-5" ?

I am having issues with characters in templates. I only have two Chinese characters in my master page and I also include <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset=utf-8" /> in the head section.

It's very weird that umbraco saves those characters as unreadable code, it renders as unreadable code as it outputs to the browser.

I copied the html to the notepad and saved as an html file, it works fine with this. I just don't understand why it doesn't work with umbraco. Now it can only work if I manually turn those two Chinese characters into unicode code (&#20013;&#25991) and then with meta data as above mentioned included.

Maybe it is the encoding in your database? I think you can choose which charset to use for storing data.
