Moodle 2.5.2+ shows Ð¡ÐµÐºÐ°Ð½Ñ string instead of cyrillic word 'Секанс', for example. Please see screenshot below:
However, I see correct cyrillic in TinyMCE editor while I edit page. SQL query 'select * from mdl25_page;' also gives correct characters.
Page description block also shows correct characters.
Moodle 2.3 installed on the same host seems to work correct:
Both moodle 2.5 and 2.3 were installed on my laptop running Linux Mint 13 64-bit, mysql 5.5.32, apache 2.2.22, Firefox 24
Both 2.5 and 2.3 MySQL databases were created in the same way:
create database moodle;
alter database moodle DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
create database moodle25;
alter database moodle25 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
I would be grateful for your advice
