Answer 1

There's an option 'Use comma as the only tag separator' in the 'Posting' panel of the admin section. This allows all special characters in tags (except comma, of course).

I did not see that option.

Thank you!

I have to remove them in QA_PREG_INDEX_WORD_SEPARATOR and QA_PREG_BLOCK_WORD_SEPARATOR right ?

QA_PREG_INDEX_WORD_SEPARATOR seems to be enough for the tags to show up in questions with the special character.
The less the tweak the better.
I would only modify this one unless you find out in the future that tags don't show up as you expect elsewhere

Thank you ! :)

In the admin panel I have access to settings
- Maximum number of tags:
But I do not have access to a set
- Maximum number of characters in the tags
 
The default is 800 characters in question.
I want to increase this number. how can I do this?
Tags are saved to the db table qa_posts the column (tags varchar (800). However increase of 800 does not work.
The database localhost "information_schema" COLUMNS is a record:
qa_widgets - tags - 4 - NULL - NO - varchar - 800 - 800 - null - null - ascii - ascii_general_ci - varchar (800),
who probably defines the maximum number of characters, but I can not change that.
