 * Please…
 * wordpress-seo/inc/wpseo-functions.php, line 156
 * v 1.2.5:
 * `'%%excerpt%%' => ( !empty( $r->post_excerpt ) ) ? strip_tags( $r->post_excerpt):
   substr( strip_shortcodes( strip_tags( $r->post_content ) ), 0, 155 ),`
 * v 1.2.7:
 * `'%%excerpt%%' => ( !empty( $r->post_excerpt ) ) ? strip_tags( $r->post_excerpt):
   utf8_encode( substr( strip_shortcodes( strip_tags( utf8_decode( $r->post_content))),
   0, 155 ) ),`
 * I don’t think it’s database issue

 * Hello!
 * In the backend I have the following template for Meta Description fileld: %%excerpt%%
 * With WordPress SEO plugin version 1.2.5 I have the following meta value:
    `<meta
   name="description" content="Не знаю, для кого как, а для меня культура - когда
   соседи мусор в окна не выкидывают."/>`
 * With upgrade to version 1.2.7 I got the following:
    `<meta name="description"
   content="?? ????, ??? ???? ???, ? ??? ???? ???????? - ????? ?????? ????? ? ????????????????.????????????????????????????????????."/
   >`
 * I have some other plugins installed, but in this case the only difference is 
   WordPress SEO version. I’ve checked the problem several times and it persists.

 * Added check for installed PHP modules on startup. Probably one of them was missing.
