Encoding Issue with Greek Characters in WYSIWYG or Markdown Editor about directus HOT 4 CLOSED

The WYSIWYG is intended to write HTML content. The entity encoding is enabled by default for the best compatibility with the web and underlying databases.

To disable entity encoding you can set the "entity_encoding" option of TinyMCE https://www.tiny.cloud/docs-3x/reference/Configuration3x/Configuration3x@entity_encoding/

Thank you,

I just came to the same conclusion by reading carefully the docs. In fact I came back to update the issue
I use:
{
"selector": "textarea",
"entity_encoding": "raw"
}

Maybe the selector is not needed.

It would be nice though to have this functionality as a general setting for projects for countries that do not use latin characters,

It really depends on whether your database is configured to support non-latin chars and how you're using the content. If you're rendering it in a webpage then having the non-latin characters encoded will ensure it is rendered correctly on any browser (else you could theoretically end up with those beautiful question mark characters ���).

It's not about displaying the text. It is about being able to search text content either by using db queries or full text search.
