Encoding of german characters doesn't work in page navigation

[Stephan Maass]

Should be the character "ä".

On pages content and on the configuration page the encoding works without a hitch. Even where the page names show in "last visited" the encoding seems tow work

Hi @Stephan Maass ,

Could you run a encoding test and verify if everything is fine?

You might also want to check what encoding used by Confluence and what is set in your database. It should match.

Hope it helps.

I had also encoding problems on jira. I applied the same fix to confluence and it worked!

Start JIRA with the parameters -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 and -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8.

Don't ask me why this isn't documented for confluence encoding problems as well.

Thanks a lot for your input anyway.

Best regards
Timo

Hi @Stephan Maass 

Glad that you were able to fix this problem. That is indeed something that should be documented on Confluence as well.

Best Regards,
