Enable Editor Global Configuration -> Entity Encoding: "Named" , and this option only works for the article text although no for the titles of articles.

I don't have an option like that - could you post a screenshot

I think you might have meant the configuration in the tinymce editor plugin and not a global configuration?

If that is correct then no setting there would have anything to do with the text in a title field

I have created many articles using french characters with accents without any problem with an incorrect value

Based on his JCE Github issue, @forofo is probably talking about JCE config parameter, not TinyMCE.

Tinymce has a similar one ;) But the comment in the JCE issue is correct. NO editor plugin option has any impact on a text field

JCE developers told me it was a Joomla problem: widgetfactory/jce#42

The only option to hide the bug is using "Named" instead "UTF-8". In this way at least we can write HTML entities to hide the problem:

Only after writing the HTML entity and saving, the title will show the right character:

If now I save this again, then again it will show wrong ascii characters. This is uncomfortable and primitive. Is there some easy fix?

thanks!

Are you talking about problems in the frontend?

I can't reproduce your find:

Why would one enter an item title as html entities? Most are resolved to utf8 when saved in db.
Some are not (Non Latin glyphs as Chinese for example);

Your screenshots show the use of K2 which is anyway not Joomla core.
I think this can be closed.

closed as stated above
