I've had a problem with getting everything working in UTF-8. I would set all the encodings and the database to utf-8, but when a utf8 character was pulled from the database (ö,ä,å) they would be ISO-8859-1 encoded.

The first solution to this was to tick the "Use internationalization features" in Locales and Encodings. Then everything would work, but if I built the project in this mode then every piece of text would require a translation and I'm building a single language solution.

What I found now is that I can get around all of this by leaving the "Use internationalization features" un-ticked and adding

 "Encoding" => array("", "utf8"),

in common.php in the $CCConnectionSettings array.

I can now build a 100% utf8 project without using translations.

(Of course if you regenerate common.php the hack will be removed, but I always generate pages with ctrl+f8 so the common.php remains untouched)

I would add to this excellent tip by suggesting that ALL new projects
use Internationalization, single language or otherwise. You just never
know when you'll need to add Swahili language support to your app!
