Whell utf8_general_ci is the default in MySQL, and other PHP/SQL applications such as phpmyadmin and egroupware doesn't have a problem with it. The data looks fine in the db. phpmyadmin displays the åäö correctly in the events. No, it's not. It's not even a charset, it's a MySQL-specific locale name.

I can't reproduce this. I wonder if utf8_general_ci is supported (under that name) by iconv/mbstring and by your installed locales. What does the data look like in the db?

Event titles get messed up when characters such as åäö is included in the event title or description. ö for example results in Ã¶ when viewed in the calendar. I'm using a mysql 5.0.54 and php 5.2.6_rc1. The sql tables uses utf8_general_ci collation. $conf[sql][charset] is also set to utf8_general_ci.
