   I just recently upgraded to 2.6.3 and now pages that were written in Arabic no longer display correctly. I've looked at the wp files but can't decypher what it is that got changed that's making this render as gibberish. See here for example: http://www.manrilla.net/blog/2008/10/01/wa-lillahi-l-hamd/

   Thanks,

   I found this to be due to the utf-8 character encoding. With the new upgrades, WP changes the wp-config.php file to:

   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8?);
   define('DB_COLLATE'=, ");

   By simply removing these, your site should return to normal.

   Hat tip to Lance Hoff.
