    I am trying to create posts in hindi language. These characters “UÉeÉMÑüqÉÉU” after saving/publishing are interpreted as “U�e�M��q��U”. Though, the special characters are stored with no change in the mysql database. The � symbol is only during retrieving.
    I’m stuck here.

    I tried commenting these lines in wp-config.php. But none worked.

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'UTF-8');

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

    Also, place mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8"); in wpdb class constructor of wp-db.php. Negative, even this didn’t work

    How do i overcome this?

    Forgot to mention, I am not using default post editor. The post editor is modified to intake multiple visual editor wpalchemy Metabox
    Any ideas to resolve with � characters?

    Its utf-8 character encoding problem. Fixed it using the function utf8_encode():
    utf8_encode(html_entity_decode($mb->get_the_value()));

    P.S.Wpalchemy
