I think I managed to resolve this by setting $evo_charset to utf-8 instead of leaving it as its blank default. Hope that's the end of it...!

I had the same problem.
I have tried setting $evo_charset in /conf/_locale.php into 'utf-8', but it didn't work.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

PS
I got my linux, brower and all locale settings in b2e set to utf-8

Were you able to fix this?

I am having the same problem for Japanese utf-8.

Everything is set to utf-8 but it wont save in utf-8?

When using firefox 2.0, I have no problems whatsoever. However, when using IE7, it won't show Chinese characters no matter WHAT the settings are.

The blog in question is www.colourwolf.com. If you click on "Grace" you'll see her posts in Chinese just fine. Because she used Firefox.

What's the problem with IE7?

I could see the Chinese at colourwolf.com/grace.php in both Firefox and IE7 in both Windows and Linux. Not sure what's wrong..!

I notice though, that on that site, the character encoding is a Western one, and all the Chinese characters are stored as HTML entities.

Oh, I had this logged-in/logged-out problem again when upgrading to b2evolution 1.9.2.. this time, setting the force_io_charset_if_accepted to utf-8 seemed to fix it...

Note, that I remember some time ago, when upgrading to a newer version of MySQL, I had to run some fixes, which converted my database to utf-8.. apparently in the past, I wasn't actually using utf-8 in the database. I can't remember where I read about this, but I think it was somewhere in these forums.

I set the force_io_charset_if_accepted to utf-8 that fix the chinese character in the blog and new post but not the post written in the past. Does anyone know where to fix which could make the character display correctly in chinese?
