 * Hello,
 * Can you add support for Serbian Cyrillic (Windows-1251 / UTF-8)?
    I can’t add
   message on WP-Topbar in Serbian Cyrillic. Instead of Cyrillic letters there are
   question marks.
 * Also, instead of some letters of Serbian Latin (Windows-1250 / UTF-8) there are
   question marks.

   after upadate/save settings: [http://goo.gl/1AN2J](http://goo.gl/1AN2J) – live:

 * Thank you.
 * Best regards,

 * I am able to create a topbar with serbian text staying the same. The text I used
   was:
 * “Добро дошли на моју интернет презентацију.”
 * What UTF encoding is your database in?
 * (To find out, use the WP System Health plugin. After activating it, go to the
   database tab — if you are having issues loading that tab then look in the address
   bar at the right end should be a ‘shield’ icon, you can click on that to and 
   load the “insecure content” — see [http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/OrwppKWbKnc](http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/OrwppKWbKnc)).
 * You should see a Charset (DB_CHARSET) heading. Does it say “utf8”?

 * Charset (DB_CHARSET) is utf8.

 * In your wp-config.php, do you have these parameters set?
 * /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’,‘
   utf8’);
 * /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’,”);

 * This is help me to figure out where is the problem.
 * In phpMyAdmin go to “wp_topbar_data”. Then change “bar_text” and “bar_link_text”
   Collation from “latin1_swedish_ci” to “utf8_general_ci”.
 * Change the collation on a MySQL database via PhpMyAdmin

 * Glad you got it worked out! I may need to add to the Debug page a report that
   checks the encoding of the database.
