Answer

The problem is usually caused by different collation than UTF-8 being used in the database. Use phpMyAdmin or similar tool to access your database and make sure that following conditions are met for all the tables starting with jos_sef (especially jos_sefurls):

  • Collation of the table is utf8_general_ci
  • All columns of type VARCHAR or TEXT also use the utf8_general_ci collation
