   Hello,

   Im running a 2.8.4 WP blog and I need all the slavic and latin characters to show up properly, such as è ò à ù ì ç č š etc (for instance, I need Italian and Slovenian languages to work).

   I installed with standard UTF-8, but clearly that is not enough for what I need because "č" is not showing (i get ? instead).

   What to do now? Convert? Collate?
   What is the correct charset?
   ISO-8859-2 ?
   ISO-8859-15 ?
   ISO-8859-16 ?

   I hope someone can help, thank you! :)

   bump!!

   Little more info about the issue:

   WP is set to UTF-8, no Collate.
   PHPMyAdmin is set on MySQL: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) and collation: utf8_unicode_ci
   WP tables, (from phpmyadmin), say Collate latin1_swedish_ci.
   Whe I look in the DB that I exported, it says at the end of each table DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1.

   So where is exactly the problem?
   UTF8 in wordpress should be ok to show those letters correctly, but I think the tables charset is wrong, maybe latin2? different collate?

   Please help! :(

   If anyone wonders, I manually changed all the tables in the database (manually) to utf8_unicode_ci collation.
   Previously they had latin1_swedish_ci collation, which was causing some characters not to display properly.
   And that was it.
