How can I configure template charset? Getting �

[Ra Jo Ga Cha, geändert vor 7 Jahren.]

I have a footer with shown text into a ftl, but it's showing � for special characters. I've tried almost every workaround that I found in the net:

JVM charset
Starting my portal_normal.ftl with "<#ftl encoding='UTF-8'>"
Checked Eclipse encoding in project properties, workspace preferences and java properties files preferences.

Also checked any file where "encoding" or "charset" word was found into my liferay directory:

• tomcat-8.0.32/bin/setenv.sh
• tomcat-8.0.32/conf/context.xml
• tomcat-8.0.32/conf/server.xml
• tomcat-8.0.32/conf/tomcat-users.xml
• tomcat-8.0.32/conf/tomcat-users.xsd
• tomcat-8.0.32/conf/web.xml
• tomcat-8.0.32/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/liferay-web.xml
• tomcat-8.0.32/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd

Restarted the app server, "just in case".

Database is UTF-8, sure of this because it's being upgraded from Liferay 6 and contents coming from database are showing correctly special characters, it's only the text into the template the one that is not working.

Still nothing...

Check Eclipse settings for your portal_normal.ftl - just adding the header does not make the editor choose this encoding.

If you're referring to Liferay's language resources: Make sure that your custom Language.properties and Language_XX.properties are also UTF-8 encoded (instead of Java's default ISO-8859-1.

portal_normal.ftl is UTF-8 encoded, no language files.

Ok, UTF-8 encoding destroyed characters after conversion so I had to update the characters with that symbol back to it's normal state.

Thanks!
