States at Admin account edit problem

[Owl]

Greetings,

Phoenix 1.0.8.0 @ PHP 7.1, 7.4

When editing a costumers account in Admin and selecting a state from the dropdown menu it does not get saved. Anyone else facing this problem? IT does not create any error log entry nor gives any kind of PHP notice/warning.

Best Regards,

Well, it didnt fixed the problem but found what the problem is. It is a problem with states having special characters like accents and such. Any ideas how to fix this?

Check that your encoding is set to utf8 in the database field.
A workaround is also to use html entities for the special characters.

db is set to utf8_unicode_ci but also tried to set it up to utf8mb4_unicode_ci with no luck. What workaround are you sugesting?

Its even weirder.
It only gives the problem with foreign countries with special characters like "Cádiz" in Spain. Other Spanish countries, i.e., does not gives any problem. Default coutry states with or without the special chars works perfectly.
