#1984 One Hebrew can't be edited nor searched
Hi,
The letter "non" in the Hebrew alphabet is displayed correctly when retrieved for view but when the purpose is editing it is displayed as a "diamond question mark".
When searching a name with the same letter the name can't be found although the record is in the database.
see enclosed screen capture.
I'm running version 4.1.3 and I've tried it on IE and Firefox.

My guess is that you have an incomplete/invalid UTF8 character sequence, and that this is only causing the browser a problem when it tries to display it in a standalone element.
If you delete this entry, then type it again (don't cut/paste it from anywhere), does this help?

The only time that the character is not displayed correctly is in edit mode.
YOu can see in the screen capture that the same value is OK when you view the record (from phpgedview or phpmyadmin or just a simple query). The "diamond question mark" is only in edit mode (html form).
I've retested the problem on IE and it is OK on IE, It got something to do with Firefox.

I did some additional testing:
1. edited the records and reentered the text from IE.
2. the view and edit on IE working great.
3. search on IE: couldn't locate the records that include the letter "non", other search are ok.
4. Fireforx - viewing the records work ok. edit the record getting the same weird diamond.
5. Firefox - search not working, same behavior as IE.

The diamond is your browsers way of saying that you have an invalid UTF-8 character.
Next guess - the database character-set and/or collation sequence is not set correctly, or you've changed these settings without converting the data?
