[Mapbender-users] Load WMS: Problem with special characters

[Astrid Emde]

Hello Clemens,

There should not be a problem, when you Mapbender uses UTF-8 and your
Database too. It is also important that the WMS is defined with encoding
UTF-8 (please check this first).

Maybe you can send an example of these special characters so we can have a
closer look at the problem.

Which Mapbender version do you use?

Best regards

Astrid
