Russian content in component delivered as ??? in tridion DD4t

Question

I have created a component, That component contains Russain content. This content is stored as "???" in the Broker database.

In DD4T web application debugging mode component's data shown as "???". Is there any setting i am missing?

This question is going to need more detail before people can answer it. Firstly - if you are talking about what the data looks like when you look at it directly using database browsing tools, then this is expected. See tridion.stackexchange.com/q/2967/129. If it's something else (i.e. you've tried actually putting the data on a page and it still doesn't display well) then please add some details about your encodings, publishing process etc. Please explain what you've tried, and what doesn't work. — Dominic Cronin, Commented Apr 27, 2014 at 8:24
I have tried to create a component with Russian content and publiched to broker database. And accessed that component from DD4T web application. Coponent's data is shown as "????" in debugging mode. — Senthil, Commented Apr 27, 2014 at 9:39
Just checked creating a static publishing model. there also content is published to .Html file as "?????". — Senthil, Commented Apr 27, 2014 at 10:02
So this was an encoding issue caused by Publication using Default Code Page. Were all the characters actually question marks? — Alvin Reyes, Commented Apr 27, 2014 at 17:07

I would suggest setting your ASP.NET MVC (DD4T) app to use UTF-8 encoding. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hy4kkhe0%28v=vs.71%29.aspx

UTC encoding are correctly set. It is issue in Tridion. Because content is published as "????" instead of actual content

If UTF8 is properly configured then content is published correctly. This has been true for thousands of websites with Tridion before, it won't be different for you. Something is missing - Check Elena's 7 clues: elenaserghie.blogspot.nl/2012/01/…

Publication changed Default Code Page set as default setting, I have changed that to UTF8. Now it is working fine.
