 * Hello,
 * Please advise:
    1. where can I set the blog_charset option set to UTF-8. ? 2.
   My site is in Chinese and working good so far, How can make “Read more” feature
   works for article on a page and post? It seems the excerpt word count setting
   doesn’t recognize Chinese. 3. How to install Chinese pack if it is needed for“
   Read more” functionality?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi cfm168,
 * > 1. where can I set the blog_charset option set to UTF-8?
 * This isn’t related to your WordPress theme. It’s something you configure in WordPress(
   _wp-config.php_ file) and in your database. This may be helpful: [Converting Database Character Sets](https://codex.wordpress.org/Converting_Database_Character_Sets).

 * This actually is a common issue in WordPress when it comes to Chinese language.

 * By the way, you’re using a premium WordPress theme ([MH Magazine](https://www.mhthemes.com/themes/mh/magazine/))
   and commercial themes are not supported through the forums on WordPress.org. 
   If you’ve purchased the premium theme and own a valid license for updates and
   support, you can [send a support request](https://www.mhthemes.com/support/#request)
   through your MH Themes account and the support staff will be more than happy 
   to answer your questions.
