Thanks for the link! I had searched through google but I hadn't found
this one.
These points are crucial
1. App.encoding must be UTF-8 (core.php)
2. Database encoding must be UTF8 (MySQL)
3. Database connection encoding must be UTF8 (database.php)
in the core.php it was already UTF8
I then added in database.php the line
'encoding' => 'utf8',
and, most important, all my tables were sweedish encoding (why that's
the default I wonder :) so I altered all the tables with
ALTER TABLE <table_name> CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE
utf8_general_ci;
I think this might be quite a recurrent problem, so why not put it into
a FAQ?
thanks again for your help
cheers
