Unicode Support in Trac

Trac stores all text using UTF-8 encoding, including text in tickets and wiki pages. Internal processing of text uses true Unicode representations.

As such, it supports most (all?) commonly used character encodings.

If your encoding is not UTF-8, you can use mod_python to handle it. For example, if your local encoding is gbk, you can set

default_charset = gbk

in trac.ini.

You also must make sure that your  database backend stores its data in UTF-8; otherwise strange things will happen.

To convert your database to UTF-8, the easiest way is to dump the database, convert the dump into UTF-8 and then import the converted dump back into the database.
You can use  iconv to convert the dump.
