Problem with special characters UTF-8

Support
#1

Hello
I have a big annoyance. I use portuguese characters, and portuguese keyboard.
All of a sudden, don’t really know why, it was working well before, but I started getting problems with our special characters.
For instance the word “Deslocação” (means “displacement” in portuguese) appears now as “Deslocação”.
It only happens when I directly write db fields in the controllers or services. It does not happen if a write the word in the editor or withe the properties.
This is probably a Tomcat problem not Cuba, but can anyone help? It’s been hours with this and I have no idea,
I can not escape all my strings in the program, makes no sense.

Thanks

Hi. I had the same problem with hungarian. The solution was escape all strings inserted in code. I use IntelliJ Idea and there is a special menu command to do this.

Thank you Sándor,

Yes, I’ve found it. I select the string literal, Alt+Enter and then “convert to basic latin”.
Still don’t believe this.

Thank you Sándor, it really did solve my problem.
Problem was with IntelliJ file encoding. Somehow, for some time now, all the files I was editing with IntelliJ had their literal strings changed that way. It’s solved now.
You’ve put me in the right direction, I was chasing Tomcat config files and other transcendental things.
Not the first time I fell stupid in this forum.
Well, I won’t be a beginner forever :slight_smile:
Be well, friend, Thanks
