   Hi Everybody!

   On my blog UTF-8 works great on posts and comments. However I have a function/form which registers some info directly in WordPress as posts. Unfortunately the special characters like these: é, ë, ï are not saved as UTF-8 in database but something like this: é, ë, ï

   I found on this forum the wp-db.php hack (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/japanese-characters-not-displaying-right?replies=4) but this not apply anymore on WordPress 3.0.

   I want to know how I can integrate

   $this->query ("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

   into my query function:

   $postsql = "insert into $wpdb->posts (blah blah)";
   $wpdb->query($postsql);

   Anybody can help me with that?

   this seems not to work:

   $wpdb->query($postsql, "SET NAMES 'utf8'");
