Was being happy for only a short while ?? The site started showing as expected but the editor was broken and showing “Warning: htmlspecialchars(): charset `utf8mb4′ not supported, assuming utf-8 in C:\inetpub\hargaantik.se\wp-includes\formatting.php on line 3270”. Will need some more investigation.

I do understand it’s not supported by WP community ??
But I have a few sites built using MS SQL on MS IIS that I need to support until I can move them to new platform.

I also found the problem with special characters and it was related to 4.2.2 and not MS SQL and ProjectNami.

In wp-db.php I found that the charset needs to be utf8mb4 to fully support UTF-8 character sets. By changning the wp-option DB_CHARSET and the dbo.wp_option blog_charset to utf8mb4 instead of just UTF-8 it all started working ?? Will cross-post the fix to the ProjectNami on GitHub as well.

Am trying it at a small site (https://hargaantik.se) at the moment but run into issues with Swedish characters not showing correctly. Not sure if its due to 4.2.2 or the ProjectNami. It worked fine before updating and all settings in wp-config and db_options show UTF-8 for charset (at least as far I have found so far). If anyone else is trying this please let me know if/how you got special characters in UTF-8 to work.

I am about to try it, but haven’t so far. But maybe the ProjectNami on GitHub (https://github.com/ProjectNami/projectnami/releases) is a solution for you.
