Question

I’m creating a form using Zend_Form, and all he words that contains diacritics are not rendered. The encoding is set to UTF-8, the collation of the database is set to utf-8_unicode. What else should I do/check?

The page header:

<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type">

The Zend_form part:

        $user = Doctrine::getTable("aclUser")->find(1, Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_ARRAY);
        $this->addElement('text','providerName',
            array(
                'label'     => 'Provider_name',
                'required'  => false,
                'readonly'  => true,
                'value'     => $user['name'],
                'filters'   => array('StringTrim'),
                'decorators'=> array(new Application_Form_Decorators_Custom())
            )
        );

Solved. I added this settings in my.cnf and now everything is rendered ok:

[client] 
default-character-set=utf8 

[mysqld] 
init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_unicode_ci' 
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8' 
default-character-set=utf8 
character-set-server = utf8 
collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci 

[mysql] 
default-character-set=utf8
