 * Hello!
 * I know this question has been asked many times, but I just can’t seem to make
   it work. I have an English wordpress installation and I would like to be able
   to write in English, in Russian, and in Japanese in my posts. I do not care at
   all about translation. (I do not want ANY translation plugin) I just want to 
   be able to write in these three languages, just like I do in my emails…
    What
   happens now is that as soon as i publish my posts, everything that was in Russian
   or Japanese turns into ???????
 * I did try this advised by moshu, but it didn’t work.
    edit the wp-config.php 
   file. Comment out the two lines:
 * define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”); Put // in front of both
   lines:
 * //define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    //define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
 * Could any one help me?
    Thank You!

 * I also tried on a WP 2.2.1 (upgraded from earlier versions) 5 minutes ago: wrote
   in English, Hungarian, Russian and (copied) Japanese into the same post. Everyting
   is showing up correctly.
