    copied!<p>I'm editing a site for someone, and they are using wordpress, which I really don't like, but hey, I didn't pick it. I need to change some text on their page to Portuguese characters such as Ç or Ã. I've read in a few places, that I need to change from ASCII to UTF-8, but I'm not sure where to do that, or how to do it across the whole site. Am I changing a database to UTF-8, or each individual php file? Hopefully somebody knows, thanks.</p> <p>Thanks to the comments below, I have most of the site running correctly, but now I can't get the foreign characters in just certain spots, for example, anywhere I'm using code like this inside of a .php file.</p> <pre><code>$email_list = do_shortcode('[pl_modal title="Join our email list" label="&lt;img class=\'\' title=\'Join our email list\' src=\'/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/email_icon.png\' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;INSCREVA-SE A NOSSA&lt;br /&gt;LISTA DE E-MAILS&lt;/span&gt;"][gravityform id=1 title=false][/pl_modal]'); </code></pre> <p>The portugese in the above code, if I add non english characters, I get a constantly loading error. More code, that does the same thing.</p> <pre><code>'&lt;div class="graphicbuttons_cont"&gt;' . '&lt;a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr={19}&amp;daddr={20}" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;img title="Get Store Directions" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/getdirection_icon.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;LOCALIZACOES &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;' . '&lt;/div&gt;' . </code></pre> <p>the LOCALIZACOES in above text, should have special characters, but it won't hold them. I have changed everything to UTF8 that I can find. But there is nothing inside this specific file that says utf8, should I add something?</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
