    Default UTF-8 Zen-Cart Tutorial for v1.3.x

    I posted a tutorial as to how to transition zen-cart over to UTF-8 encoding also having the database encoded in UTF-8 too. This was made for carts using Japanese, but it could be used for many other languages.

    Here is the link
    UTF-8 Zen-Cart

    I hope people find this helpful.

    Thanks for the tip. It would be something great to have as a standard feature in a next version of Zencart.

    I wish it was UTF-8 from the get go too, but I understand that when they started zen-cart, UTF-8 wasnt really a good option then. So to change everyone over, would be a huge pain I am sure. I would like to make a way to take an existing cart and change it over to UTF-8, database and all.

    Maybe when I get more time, I will look into that.

    This is aimed at starting with a fresh install. If you are running your cart already and you apply this to a current cart, there could be problems. What languages are you running?

    I would recomend you install on a backup store first. But let me know your setup and maybe I can offer some suggestions.

    I am sorry, i might be wrong, but it seems Zen-cart install creates databases in other collation, the should be some touches in install directory as well (correct me if i am wrong)
