 * Hello. My site is in Azeri. I had problem creating pages and posts in Azeri, 
   but I modified wp-config file and changed:
 * **/\*\* Database Charset to use in creating database tables. \*/
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’,‘
   utf8’);
 * to:
 * **/\*\* Database Charset to use in creating database tables. \*/
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’,”);
 * This solved the problem. But now when I logged in Azeri characters became question
   marks and all pages and posts charset is broken 🙁 Database charset is UTF-8

 * [@jureipsr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jureipsr/) – looks as though 
   I’ve got the same problem as you. I’ve posted a separate question. Will let you
   know if I find the answer – please do the same for me.
