Chinese Characters not showing or turned into ????? Solution here! 美女!
Posted by KhoKing on Wednesday Oct 17, 2007 Under Computer / ITI have no problem with the old wordpress using multi-lingua, can’t remember the exact version that is problem free now, perhaps is version 2.1.
However, since upgraded to version 2.2 and now version 2.3, I can no longer post chinese language characters. After published or saved, it will turn into ???????
This is getting annoying, and searched at wordpress said that you need to set the database to using utf8 enconding. Not sure how to do it…but I found a simple way of solution.
In config.php file, delete these two lines:
(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
save it and viola! Now chinese characters are showing perfectly!
