wrong coding in link to Wiki Page

[Jacek Okwieka]

Hi,

Issue link to Confluence works good, but link itself is displayed using bad coding.

Any suggestion how to fix it?

Regards

I have seen this problem before in regards to application links.  The link itself is ok. The problem tends to be the way one of the applications is encoding text (Jira and/or Confluence) is using a format that is unexpected.    We expect both applications to be using UTF-8 for the Java application encoding.  However we do not force that on administrators.    For instance where one application is using an encoding like ANSI or cp1252 and the other application is using UTF-8, you can expect to see these kinds of strange characters in the titles of the pages.  

I would recommend checking out the KB JIRA Application internationalisation and encoding troubleshooting.   It has some steps you can follow in order to make sure that Jira is starting up using the correct Java/jnu setting:

• Start JIRA with the variable -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 and -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8. See Setting properties and options on startup.

From the Confluence side, I would recommend following the guide Troubleshooting Character Encodings.   Just to make sure that Confluence is configured correctly.
