!!!Enabling UTF-8 Unicode language encoding in your page header. 

UTF-8 allows for support of various languages, including Asian languages and their character depth.  It is a widely supported and flexible character encoding, used for many European languages and can also represent Chinese, Japanese and Korean. 

It's fairly simple to enable UTF-8 on your wiki pages.  Currently PmWiki 2.0 versions have the UTF-8 file needed already loaded. 

!!!!Here are the steps to enable UTF-8 

*Open your config.php file
*Add this line:[[<<]]'''include_once($FarmD.'/scripts/xlpage-utf-8.php');'''
*save and upload your config.php file back to the server.

If you validate your site you should see that UTF-8 is default encoding.

'' '''NOTE: ''' The encoding type used when [@config.php@] is saved has an effect if you will be converting between character encodings on your wiki. Refer to [[Cookbook:ISO8859MakePageNamePatterns#page-encoding | page encoding]] for more details. If you are not using international characters then you do not need to be concerned about this.''
