Hello.

I tried to add a character to the special chars table. In the insercharacter.tpl (extension/ezdhtml/design/standard/templates/ezdhtml/) I added the following:

The line where the html-codes are defined:
var specialChars = ["¡","¢","£","¤","¥" .... ]

I added:
"λ"

When I want to insert this char, it will be changed to "?" after saving the template. Is there another location where I have to define this?

Thank you for your help.

This is because this char is not compatible with your codepage. If you try Unicode, for example, it will be ok. Otherwise you can insert it only to <literal> field.

But we are going to change this in eZp 3.9 and make it possible to use foreign characters.

I tried it with "Insert literal". But it's the same. When I put the sign in it, it will be channged to ? and when I put in the html-code I will the the html code and not the sign I want to use.

Is there no other way?

Currently the only way is to use the charset UTF8, which I would recommend to start with for any new site.
