 To use and have **non-english** character sets (Charset) within our software may need a few different changes, each listed on this page. Our auction and classified software comes to you using **UTF-8** character encoding by default((This includes the charset used in the admin panel, as well as the charset used in the default templates.  This does **not** include the charset used in the **config.php** for "filtering inputs" and AJAX contents, see [[#Charset in config.php file]] section below for more information on that.)). This character encoding is fine for the vast majority of sites, even the majority of non-English language sites.  Using UTF-8 is even more important if your site uses multiple languages, since UTF-8 can be used across almost all the different languages. To use and have **non-english** character sets (Charset) within our software may need a few different changes, each listed on this page.

 +<tip c n>**Note:**  The search feature in general is not case-sensitive within the software but that does not apply to special and/or accented characters such as ç and Ç. This is a limitation of the system at the database level because of the way the accented characters are represented in the database.  They cannot be searched in a case-insensitive manner.</tip>

 You will need to change the character encoding set within the admin tool to set the character encoding used in the admin tool here: You will need to change the character encoding set within the admin tool to set the character encoding used in the admin tool here:
  
-[[admin_menu/site_setup/general_settings/start#character_encoding|Site Configuration > General Settings > Character Encoding]]+[[admin_menu/site_setup/general_settings/start#character_encoding|Site Setup > General Settings > Character Encoding]]
  
 If you do not have this setting we recommend updating to the latest version which will have it. Changing the setting here will allow you to insert characters directly into the browser when making changes in your admin panel, and those characters displayed properly without translation.  This will affect all text controlled by the system and administered through the admin tool like template editing, language text, etc. If you do not have this setting we recommend updating to the latest version which will have it.
