Attention

TYPO3 v8 has reached its end-of-life March 31st, 2020 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

MySQL

Character Sets

Current versions of TYPO3 use UTF-8 encoding. You should make sure that MySQL uses UTF-8 as well. This is done most easily by checking that the new, empty database uses the character set UTF-8. In a database with content, all tables and those columns, which have a character set, must use UTF-8.
