    4 Trac stores all text using UTF-8 encoding, including text in tickets and wiki pages. Internal processing of text uses true Unicode representations.
     4Trac encodes all text using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 UTF-8], including text in tickets and wiki pages. Internal processing of text uses true [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode Unicode] representations. As such, it supports most (all?) commonly used character encodings.

    6 As such, it supports most (all?) commonly used character encodings.
     6If the default encoding in your source code repository is not UTF-8, you can specify it in the [TracIni#trac-section trac.ini]:
     7{{{
     8default_charset = gbk
     9}}}

    8 If your encoding is not UTF-8, you can use [wiki:TracModPython mod_python] to handle it.  For example, if your local encoding is gbk, you can set
    9    default_charset = gbk
    10 in trac.ini.
     11Also ensure that your [trac:DatabaseBackend database] stores its data in UTF-8, otherwise results may be unpredictable.

    12 You also must make sure that your [trac:DatabaseBackend database backend] stores its data in UTF-8; otherwise strange things will happen.

    14 To convert your database to UTF-8, the easiest way is to dump the database, convert the dump into UTF-8 and then import the converted dump back into the database.[[BR]]
    15 You can use [http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/documentation/libiconv/iconv.1.html iconv] to convert the dump.

     13To convert your database to UTF-8, the easiest way is to create a dump of the database, convert it into UTF-8, for example using [http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/documentation/libiconv/iconv.1.html iconv], and then import it back into the database.
