    Character set problems

    I have been using Reunion for quite a while and the character sets have worked as long as I set Windows when exporting GEDCOMs to upload to TNG. Recently (not sure when) quotes and apostrophes and such have been garbled in TNG. I checked my settings, they were as follows:

    Reunion GEDCOM Export = Windows
    TNG character set = ISO something or other
    phpMyAdmin on cPanel = UTF-8

    This had always worked fine - until now. I can't imagine which of the three things above could have changed.

    So, I tried changing everything to UTF-8 to match the cPanel database collation. But I'm still seeing garbage in my NOTES fields on the TNG web pages.

    What gives? Does TNG need a server restart to pick up the character set change or something?

    P.S. I flushed the browser cache (in fact I deleted Safari's cache files) before checking.

    P.P.S. One more tidbit of info - I'm back-leveled on TNG. I'm running 9.2.1 - could that have anything to do with it? (what can I say? I'm lazy and TNG 9 works fine for me)

    In the immortal words of Roseanne Roseannadanna... "Never mind"

    I changed TNG's "Language Folder" to "English-UTF8" instead of "English" (even though I had already changed the Character Set box to "UTF-8"). Then I deleted the cache, reloaded Safari, and re-uploaded the UTF-8 GEDCOM. And it worked! Yay!
