Concrete 5.4: Korean Characters displaying as "????"

Permalink
Hello,

I saw this post before (http://goo.gl/WDD3i) but couldn't visit the bug tracker page with the fix. I have a problem where Korean Characters that I load from a Word Doc are displaying as "?" when I publish my edits. I've tried "Copy/Paste" as well as importing using the Word Clipboard. Any suggestions?

It might be your database encoding. Check out this how-to to make sure it can handle multibyte characters:

Is there any way to do this without using MySQL?

If database encoding is indeed your problem-- then you're going to have to alter your MySql database to fix it. If you're not comfortable using command line MySql, PhpMyAdmin is a good alternative-- it offers a graphical interface.

You also might want to have your host's technical support folks check out your PHP and Apache encoding-- it's possible those might be set to something other than UTF-8 as well.
