OpenCms fully supports Unicode (UTF-8) as a setup option and thus can natively handle contents in international character sets, e.g in eastern European or Asian languages. Using this feature, multi-language sites can be easily created and managed using OpenCms.

OpenCms uses UTF-8 encoding as default, this can be configured globally in the OpenCms configuration and for a specific file in the virtual file system using meta information (property).

The screenshot above shows a page containing some sentences in armenian generated by OpenCms.
