Serious problem editing categories - please help

posts: 104 France

I have started setting up categories for a new site, and have come across a bizarre problem. When I enter non-English characters (the site is going to be in English, Russia, and German) as a category name, the category details appear fine in the list of categories, but on the other hand they are all wrong in the "Current category" in the header.

In addition, I can't display the source code for the page.

This is a really serious problem for me and I would very much appreciate help urgently.

This worked fine in the test version I set up using Tiki 1.7.3 - I have the problem with Tiki 1.8.2

I have set up my site so you can easily see the problem by clicking on one of the categories displayed at http://russia.internationalist-forum.org

Thanks for looking at this. To my surprise, when I looked at this it allowed me to display the source code, where I see that "français" has been converted into "Français", using ampersand-prefixed HTML special characters. It looks like the UTF-8 is getting passed into a routine that does the conversion but that expects ISO-8859 as input.
