in Updating to 1.1.7.3 stopped supporting non-ASCII fields in brands/campaigns Comment by temmokan July 2013
OK, since I thought no one would ever bother about converting DB, I did everything myself. Sequence of actions:
1. Make sure SQL backend works in Latin1. Set $config to latin1 and make sure Sendy interface displays data correctly.

Not everything.

I have reported a problem when using certain character sequences in messages (in subjects, especially) those with quotes followed by Unicode character, result in the string being cut and/or corrupted.

I can't fatho…

OK, the summary of the problem.

Tables in Sendy DB have been originally created either without explicit charset declaration per table, or with default Latin1 charset assigned.

Note: all default character sets at my side are set to utf8. Issuing '\s' commmand after connecting to DB gives:

Server characterset: utf8
Db characterset: utf8
Client characterset: utf8
Conn. cha…

That doesn't solve my problem. All Unicode strings taken from database are not treated as Unicode, even though $charset = 'utf8' is set in config.php.

How shall I send you some Russian characters? Will this:

Also: re-uploading database dump I made prior to applying upgrade didn't help.

The problem is definitely in software (Sendy), which stopped supporting Unicode in certain fields.

Sorry for typos. I only tried to re-assign one affected brand name/description.

Note that confog.php contains a parameter ($charset) missing in previous versions.

My ability to send any campaigns in Russian is completely paralyzed…

No problem. It's in Russian:
