I've been trying to figure this out for awhile, and have tried a number of different wants of handling it.

For example, take the name Ramón, which contains the o accent.
(ó html entity - or type it on a windows machine by holding down ALT and entering 0243)

You can use this method of typing in the character (ALT-0243) when storing the name in a form field, but when using HTML5 Data Bindings to output the name to a page, it looks like this: Ramón

Using the old way (DW Server Behaviors and Bindings) works, but HTML5 DB has some issue with outputting the desired character.

What's the best way to handle this so it looks correct when using HTML5 DB to output name fields with accented characters? (Ramón)

Hi Steve,
please make sure your database encoding is urf8 and the database table collation is utf8_general_ci

Honestly, I'm not even sure how to do that. I've never had a problem with getting these characters to display correctly until HTML5 Data Bindings.

Unicode characters always require UTF8 to be used both on your page and in your database.. it is not a htm5 data bindings requirement.
