Can you post what you've done? I have a site using UTF-8, and it took me a while to get it sorted out. Is your backend database ALSO utf-8? That made a *huge* difference for me. making sure my takes had default charset utf8

don't try and retro-actively change the charset, it'll wipe out the data. instead create a new table utf8, and select into it. then rename it.

Need a simple, powerful knowledgebase? Bigattichouse Knowledge Base finds the solution while you're still typing the problem.
