Index

Confluence allows the configuration of which character encoding is used to deliver pages.

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:


If you are having problems with the character encoding in Confluence, please see the Troubleshooting Character Encodings page.
