utf-8 upgrade problems

  • I imported my 1.2 wordpress version database into a ‘test’ machine running 1.5, to simulate an upgrade. both 1.2 and 1.5 are set to utf-8 encoding, but on 1.5 I get to see strange symbols and stuff, like if it is showing the page as iso. What did I do that’s wrong?

  • I got the exactly same problem, when I check the databases, I can see its in utf-8 but as soon as I run trough the update.php page, it seem that every post, comment and title transform to iso8859-1:
    if I check my main page, I see garbled text but if I switch the browser character encoding to iso8859-1, I can see correctly french and western european accentued characters but asian one keep displayed wrongly.

    Im using MySQL 4.1 with
    default-character-set = utf8 set to the [client] and [mysqld] sections
    and my locales are fr_FR.UTF-8
