    I’ve tried a few solutions I’ve found to allow my server to handle UTF-8 characters without success.

    Here is a screenshot of a bunch of special characters used right under the list:

    They display just fine outside of the plugin.

    I can also easily reproduce the issue over all my website by going into the wp-config.php file and commenting the following lines:

    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8mb4’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    If I comment those out, I get the same ? characters everywhere I’ve put accents. Seems like it can handle accents just fine everywhere except in the plugin.

    Hi,

    I’ve written a lot of text without any issues, if I upload using the media manager/library on WordPress, I have no issues at all. Would that still be the server?

    Thanks.

    Sorry, I completely skipped the part where I actually explain what the problem is.

    It shows ? symbols in the names containing special characters, and those ? also appear in the URLs, which makes it impossible to download files or access directories.

    Here’s a screenshot:

    Thanks!

    Hi, I’m not sure if you’re still looking at this, but I found a solution to this.

    When you add icons in the plugin, name them with a . in front, so .doc for example.

    The code searches the name of the file for the name you give to your icon, so unless you put a dot in front of the name, that happens.

    All of the base icons are found in this folder, rename them with a dot in front and delete them from the plugin and add them again: \wp-content\plugins\attachment-file-icons\mime

    Hope this helps!
