My default Drupal installs end up having latin1 as the character type in the MySQL tables, unlike CiviCRM default installs that end up with utf8 charset and utf8_unicode_ci as the collation. Might want to look at that as one possible issue.

I think this happens when the default character set of the database is latin1 and some modules don't specify any character set when installing tables. So, whenever I create a new Drupal database I always go to phpMyAdmin-->Operations and make sure to set the charset/collation of the database to utf8/utf8_general_ci.

I have special characters that need to go in a node title and into CCK fields, but by default they do not display correctly. Can anyone point me towards a solution which allows Unicode characters in titles and CCK fields? Many thanks for our help!
I've no problems with unicode chars and I didn't do any special setup. FAPI did all the magic. Can it be a client side problem?
BTW if you're dealing with MS stuff in any way consider that they call UTF-18 Unicode, while Drupals works great with UTF-8.
