[jira] Closed: (INFRA-559) JIRA (and Bugzilla?) can't handle non-latin characters

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-559?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jeff Turner closed INFRA-559.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

I'm not sure what the problem was, but it's been fixed by switching to Postgres.

> Multi-byte characters like Chinese (eg. ??) do not come out in JIRA. Nor do Euro signs (?) or other characters outside the iso-8859-1 character set.
> Unfortunately we use MySQL 3.23, which is a halfassed database without Unicode support. We will need to upgrade to 4.1.x before we can switch to utf-8.
