I want to insert a turkish name into my TYPO3 RichText-Editor (RTE, sysExt. rtehtmlarea), for example: "Özoğuz". The special letter "ğ" is here my problem, I've only see a question mark, after saving my text content element (s. pictures).

My charset is UTF-8 (setup.ts) and the database is also utf-8

config.metaCharset = utf-8

I also tried to insert &#287; instead of "ğ" at code view (<>), but I've got the error, see second picture.

- Maybe the turkish language needs ISO 8859-9 (Latin-5)? How can I allow turkish at my german TYPO3 Website?

UTF-8 handles Turkish chars correctly, the DB error at save and later lack of Turkish special chars definitely indicates, that your DB or at least table or column doesn't use UTF-8, note that also for TYPO3 6.0+ it's required to create UTF-8 table yourself and $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['setDBinit'] = 'SET NAMES utf8;' will be ignored (read the notice).

Make sure that your MySQL server is configured to work with UTF-8 by default and also convert wrong tables/fields to use it.
