[TYPO3] UTF8 & TYPO3

[Johannes Reichardt]

Hey there,

strange things happen. I tried before to mail to this list with a utf8 
encoded character (something like #xyz;) in the title but that never 
reached the list, instead i got the following message back from 
typo3-english-bounces:

<mail>
The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your
original message.

- Unprocessed:
     some reason it gets converted to the utf style, no matter if i put 
it in
     "real" or UTF encoded (&#xyz;). Can i disable that somewhere? Any 
hints?
     - Johannes

- Done.
</mail>


But thats not important ;) - actually i try to put a UTF8 encoded 
character in the pagetitle of my template - but that fails for some 
reason - it gets converted in the UTF8 encoding style again. Does 
someone have some insight on this? I am also looking for good 
documentation for developers what i have to care of when using utf8 on 
websites along with databases. Seems there could be many pitfalls like 
db performance, missing characters, faling searches due to specialchars 
etc.etc.etc... ;)
