Problem with Serbian Latin letters

Hello,
Since it was released version 8, have a problem with displaying Serbian letters.
This problem did not exist in version 5th.
Here's a picture attached which shows how one looks in version 5 and one in the current version.
MySQL version is 4.1.22.
Thank you.

I'm sure the developer will ask the for the table definition and maybe an hex dump of a sample cell—you can use MySQL's HEX() function for the latter.

The most important column "collation" is hidden in your screenshot. Please paste the CREATE TABLE query which you have in the "Create code" tab.

A table with default collation "latin1_swedish" and serbian characters?

CREATE TABLE `account` (
`accountid` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`code` VARCHAR(9) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`type` VARCHAR(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
`note` VARCHAR(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
`accountts` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`accountid`),
UNIQUE INDEX `code` (`code`),
INDEX `accountts` (`accountts`)
)
COLLATE='latin1_swedish_ci'
ENGINE=MyISAM
AUTO_INCREMENT=1465
;

Collation is "latin1_swedish".
At the time the database was created close to 2000 there was no other option and everything work perfectly.
But again Heidi version 5 all operate normally.

When I set a colation to latin2_croatian_ci, instead of Serbian letters I again receive various sings.
Picture is in Attach.

Apparently, earlier HeidiSQL versions incorrectly displayed e.g. 0xC5BD bytes in a Latin-1 string as the Ž character (U+017E). To begin with, Latin-1 is a single byte encoding—that byte sequence should be interpreted as two characters: 0xC5 (Å aka U+00E5) and 0xBD (½ AKA U+00BD). Additionally, Latin-1 doesn't have most of those chars you mention.

Of course, this doesn't explain why you get (U+FFFD) instead of Ž. But older behaviour was definitively a bug in HeidiSQL.
