    Hi Arun,

    Can you provide and example of your template (or just a part that includes the special characters?).

    Hmm, I'll need to give that a test as I'm not sure why it would be doing that.

    My immediate thought as a potential workaround is could you HTML encode the special characters and see if that works

    ü

    What i did is cloned the existing email template in email confirmation and edited to new one, and specify this template to the German Culture. The functionality works but the special character found incorrect.

    Hi Arun,

    Sorry, I thought you were going away to try using encoded special characters ü to see if that worked?

    Hmm,

    Are you able to check whether your template files are saved as UTF-8 with BOM? It could be that it's not saved in the right format and so the characters are being converted

    Hi Matt I'm afraid i cant check the format of email template files as they are in Umbrao Cloud. I've tried adding the code in layout
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=UTF-8" />


    But doesnt makes any change

    Hi Arun

    Yea, I don't think that will help if the file isn't itself UTF-8 encoded. I could really do with knowing before looking into other options. It may be worth starting a support chat with Umbraco in the Umbraco Cloud portal to see if they could check for you.
