title: UTF-8 encoding works with Cake 1.3.11, but it doesn't with Cake 2.2.3
body: <p>I have a running CakePHP 1.3.11 project and all special chars (like äüöß) looks fine. On the same machine and sharing exactly the same database, I have also a Cake 2.2.3 project and here all special chars are messed up.</p>
  
  <p>Settings for both projects are basically the same:</p>
  
  <p><strong>core.php</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>Configure::write('App.encoding', 'UTF-8');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>database.php</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>'encoding' =&gt; 'utf-8' # Cake 1.3.11
  'encoding' =&gt; 'utf8'  # Cake 2.2.3 (utf-8 doesn't work with 2.2.3)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>View/Layouts/default.ctp</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;head&gt;
      &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;Html-&gt;charset(); ?&gt;
      ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried adding <code>header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');</code> to <strong>bootstrap.php</strong>, but still not working.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?
  Thanks a lot in advance!</p>
