Confluence allows the configuration of which character encoding is used to deliver pages.
While different character encodings are supported, we strongly recommend that UTF-8 is used. Confluence is heavily tested on UTF-8, and users are likely to have less problems with this encoding than others. |
| Mac Users Mac Users please note that MacRoman encoding is compatible with UTF-8. You do not need to change your encoding settings if you are already using MacRoman. |
To avoid problems with character encoding, make sure the encoding used across the different components of your system are the same:
- Configuring Database Character Encoding
- Application Server URL encoding
- Confluence Character Encoding
If you are having problems with the character encoding in Confluence, please see the Troubleshooting Character Encodings page.
