Just upgraded to 2.2 and discovered that all my blog shows question marks instead of Latvian letters. It turns out wp-settings.php file is missing 2 lines of code. After the line 264
do_action('init');
these 2 lines should be inserted:
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8");
mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");
Could you please insert them in the original setup package file? MySQL 5 needs this to show proper UTF-8 encoding.
Would putting the new DB_CHARSET and DB_COLLATE definitions in wp-config.php work?

SORRY!!! It's not wp-config.php file! It's wp-settings.php file.
For me these two lines do the trick and Latvian letters appear properly. Could you please include these 2 lines there?
@Guntis:
Did you try wp-config.php?
Before I needed to edit wp-db.php to add SET NAMES and COLLATION there (UTF-8). I needed that to display correctly both in the blog and in the MySQL database cyrillic characters. Now I can do it via the wp-config.php file, which is a major relief:)
Worst case: You can edit manually the wp-settings.php file?...
Hope this helps:)

I believe I have tried al of these steps. I'm still having the problem as related here.
