Hi, which version of Joomla! you are using? Which extension sends the email? Is this core Joomla! Mostly it is used utf-8 encoding so this should not be any problem :idea:

Hello,

First thank you for your reply.
I am using joomla 3.3.6 version and extension is jesportscoachprofile which is made by me and i am using this below function for send the email
$return = JFactory::getMailer()->sendMail($mailfrom, $fromname, $recepintemail, $subject, $message);

And also problem in default joomla pdf functionality when i make pdf in czech language its not converting some characters.

We do not have a pdf functionality in Joomla since 1.6.

Hello,

I am using dompdf to generate pdf

[infograf768]

you need specific unicode fonts to use tcpdf or dompdf.
DejaVu is quite good if I remember well.
As for your mail issue, you should check how you save your input. It should be in raw UTF8 and not html entities.

Yes, confirmed, DejaVu Sans displays UTF-8 Czech characters

Anyway I had problems to display Czech or other UTF-8 characters ind dompdf, this is why I changed the PDF library to TCPDF - which is now used in Phoca PDF - You can test Phoca PDF or directly TCPDF to generate PDFs in your Joomla! Then you will know the used font includes Czech UTF-8 characters.

Where is the content of $message variable stored - it is stored in database (should not be any problem) or it is stored in file (possible problem with encoding - encode your file with UTF-8 without BOM in case the content is coming from file)
