SDL Tridion - published files are not encoded in UTF-8

Question

I set the publishing target in SDL Tridion for push files (aspx) as UTF-8.

The pages are published, but I still see some strange encoding issues when rendering in the browser.

I can edit files on the server using notepad and save them as UTF-8, which fixes the problem. Therefore, I am a little fixated on why this is happening, and it is annoying that I saw it before, but I can’t remember how it was allowed.

I tried using other parameters in the target publication, for example, "System Default", but I still see the same problem.

thanks

Answer 1

In IIS / .NET, I never had a problem after setting the publish target in UTF-8 and set in the web.config file:

<globalization fileEncoding="UTF-8" requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8"/> 

If you are using a Windows-Service based deployment, you can set the JVM encoding to UTF-8, as described here .

Have you tried these 7 steps to solve encoding problems from Elena?

Answer 3

If this is a system that you have inherited from someone else, check that the code page is not explicitly defined in the template. This will replace the default value for the publication target.
