   Helllo,
   I have a very strange problem; I have installed wordpress 2.8 on my host (www.agnosco.iblogger.org) and imported my posts in xml from my tumblr site (danlittauer.tumblr.org) - i have mixed language (english, hebrew, arabic, portuguese) posts and the non english ones came up with question marks... I have been unsuccessful at solving this even after reading docs in wordpress...

   The very strange thing is that when I imported it to the wordpress.com account it works (www.danlittauer.tumblr.com), how come?

   Are there any files I need to install on my host?

   Please help,

   Kind regards,

   Thanks,
   Dan

   I had a similar problem. I migrated a site in hebrew which worked fine on one server, but in the new server everything came up as question marks.

   Two things to check:

   First that under Settings->Reading Encoding is set to UTF-8

   if that doesn't do the trick, edit your wp-config.php file find the line:

   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
   and change it to:
   define('DB_CHARSET', '');

   after doing that I had to reimport the xml of posts, but it worked properly.
