I am having problems when trying to save Chinese Simplified text from the editor into our database.  I am using the Editor.XHTML to get the editor contents and all the database fields are setup as nvarchar, or ntext fields.

 

If I put valid chinese text into the database directly the editor will load it up corretcly, however when I do a resave the text gets put into the database as "????????".

 

All other saving on the page from straight textboxes or text entry fields results in correct chinese text in the database, but when saving from the Editor it is incorrect and is always question marks.

 

Any insight into this matter or help resolving it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

kenton419,

 

The following thread may help:

 

 

 

I have read through that thread many times and seached for others relating already and looked at the examples.  I cannot find a solution to my problem within any of it.

 

I changed from using the Editor.Text to using the Editor.XHMTL because of what I had found in that thread, but it still has not resolved the problem.

 

Any futher information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

kenton419,

I have 3 text fields on the page as it is currently.  Two regular textboxes that both save correctly to "Nvarchar" fields in the database.  I then have the editor as the third field on the same page which saves to an "ntext" field in the database.  If I put the same text in all three, the first two normal textboxes save and load correctly, but the text from the Editor comes up as "??????".

 

It gets saved incorrectly to the database.  The web.config is set to use "UTF-8" as the language encoding and this all seems to work great with the textboxes, but something is still not working correctly with the Editor.XHTML.

 

Could there be any other configuration issues with my editor setup or anything that woud relate to this issue?

 

Thanks for the quick responses.

Before you save the content to the DB, can you print out in the web page?

 

 

Try type some chinese characters and click the submit button.
