 * Hi, I’m trying to create a simple bilingual blog with everything in english except
   for a few posts (created by my friends) in Korean.
 * I’ve installed the latest english version of WordPress (1.5.2), and I’m using
   the default character encoding, UTF-8.
 * However, when I save korean text in a post, some of the korean syllables appear
   as question marks (or question marks inside diamonds).
 * Is it possible to correct this so that my friends can create korean posts?

 * I tried using the Basic Bilingual plugin with the language “ko”, but that didn’t
   solve the problem.

 * I’ve discovered that if I change the character encoding for the entire site to
   EUC-KR then the Korean posts do work fine!
 * But isn’t it possible to encode all the Korean syllables in UTF-8?
