 * Dear phraisohn,
 * Thanks you for drawing our attention towards this. We are fixing this, I will
   inform you once we are done.

 * Dear phraisohn,
 * We have checked and realised that your wp-config.php might have the collate as
   utf8mb4_unicode_ci which should actually be utf8_general_ci
    In later versions
   of WordPress it started using collate and characterset as utf8mb4 but in order
   to have language other than English we must have collate and characterset as 
   utf8.
 * Here’s how it should look after you change it in wp-config.php
 *     ```
       /** 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', 'utf8_general_ci');
       ```
   
 * I am marking this as resolved, please do let me know if you still face any trouble.
 * **Note:** the entries which are already made [i.e. which shows question marks
   right now] would not get automatically converted, but the entries made after 
   this change would work absolutely fine. Previous entries would not change because
   they are already posted as question marks and there is no rolling them back.

 * We are updating some of the code in our plugin to have a permanent fix for all
   the users.
 * But in the mean time, also try one more thing, if you can…
 *     ```
       /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
       define('DB_CHARSET', '');
       /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
       define('DB_COLLATE', '');
       ```
   
 * i.e. leave both of it blank, it should work.
 * If it doesn’t; do not worry at all, we will get you the solution. I promise.
