Bob Crabb Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I just tested this using WP 2.6. I copied and pasted some Chinese characters from a web page, and I input some Japanese kanji using IME. Both worked fine. I think that the key here is to make sure that your encoding is set to UTF-8. Check your "Encoding for pages and feeds" setting under "Reading Settings". If that is set to UTF-8, and you are still having problems, look at the page source for the following tag: ><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> If it is something other than UTF-8, then the character set is probably hard coded in your template. In that case, check the header.php file for your template, and edit accordingly. Edited August 10, 2008 by Bob Crabb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
