1. Confluence Docs 3.0 : Configuring Tomcat's URI encoding This page last changed on May 15, 2009 by jlargman. By default, Tomcat uses ISO-8859-1 character encoding when decoding URLs received from a browser. This can cause problems when Confluence's encoding is UTF-8, and you are using international characters in attachment or page names. Edit `conf/server.xml` and find the line where the `Coyote HTTP Connector` is defined. It will look something like this, possibly with more parameters:
       <Connector port="8080"/>
2. Add a `URIEncoding="UTF-8"` property to the connector:
       <Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
Restart Tomcat #### If you are using mod_jk You should apply the same URIEncoding parameter as above to the AJP connector if you are using mod_jk, and add the following option to your Apache mod_jk configuration:
    <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
