JIRA 4.0 : International characters in notification email subjects
This page last changed on Nov 01, 2007 by rosie@atlassian.com.
Why are international characters in notification email subjects are being replaced with '?' This happens if the system encoding is not the same as the JIRA encoding (by default UTF-8). System encoding can be seen in Administration -> System -> System Info, and JIRA encoding can be seen in Admin -> Global Settings -> General Configuration. If there is a discrepancy, this can be fixed by setting the system encoding with a command-line option (-Dfile.encoding=utf-8) when starting JIRA. Eg. with Tomcat (JIRA Standalone), set the following before running the startup script: JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=utf-8 See JRA-5176 for more details. |
