Thread:Project:Support desk/Page Titles with Special Characters not decoding properly 1.16.2 - 1.17.0/reply (4)

Turns out that it was not HTML5 but the page_title collation entry for the table (page) was set to utf-bin and the table collation in the database was set to latin1_swedish_ci. This mismatch caused the titles to be displayed improperly.

Thanks for your help.
