Wrong character encoding in site title

Hi, colleagues.

I tried to change the site title using the SiteTitle control:

<portal:SiteTitle id="SiteTitle" runat="server" OverrideTitle="New site title></portal:SiteTitle>/

My site title is in Russian (as the whole site) but it is rendered using characters like these ă ĕ  ĭ  ŏ  ŭ ä, not Cyrillic.

At the same time content of pages and menu items are rendered correctly. What's up?

Re: Wrong character encoding in site title

I'm not sure what would cause that but you could easily just remove the <portal:SiteTitle control from the layout.master file and replaces it with hard coded html.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I replaced the <portal:SiteTitle> control with an usual <div> element and renamed the CSS class "siteheading" in both layout.master and style.css (just in case). But the problem has remained.

Re: Wrong character encoding in site title

Look for the <globalization element in Web.config, try changing the fileEncoding from iso-8859-15 to utf-8 and see if that solves the problem. I don't recommend changing any other settings on the <globalization element, you should leave other settings as they are.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Wrong character encoding in site title

Joe, thanks for the idea. But after changing the fileEncoding to utf-8 the characters like ă ĕ ĭ ŏ ŭ ä were replaced with ??????. 

I hope i has found the solution. The encoding settings on the <globalization element should match with ones of the layout.master (and any aspx-file as i understand). The layout.master in my site has windows-1251 encoding. I tried to save it in utf-8 encoding (in MS Visual Web Developer) but i was refused access. Then i changed  utf-8 to windows-1251  on the <globalization element and my problem was solved.
