    • ]]>     Recently upgraded my WP blog, and released some japanese/chinese characters (in Unicode) were displaying strangely, giving me question marks (????) and funny symbols (トトãƒ).

    I learnt that this can be fixed by modifying the WP source file wp-config.php on the web server.  The change required is simply commenting the following 2 lines of code,  by adding a // in front of:

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
//define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
//define('DB_COLLATE', '');
