[SOLVED] - encoding for slovak or czech language (UTF8?) - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i found out following problem. testing  joomla cms in slovak language. articles published in slovak language are  saved in database incorrectly. text of these articles is  displayed correctly on webpage, text in database saved incorrectly, text unreadable. (slovak language includes signs "á" or "é" or "č" converted other unreadable signs after article saved or published) caused 2 problems:

- search problem (the search module not able find searched words includes signs "á" or "é" or "č")
- incorrect output, after exporting text database pdf format or excel format, etc...

i think, might problem of joomla encoding. has suggestion how solve problem?
