Fixing my Kanji Input for WordPress 日本語英語なおします.
Posted in HowTo on 22. Feb, 2010
I was having problem with my wordpress, i could not write or see にほんご(Japanese) in my blog. All the Japanese characters show up as “????” instead of 日本語.
I was going mental trying to fix this looking at all the code. After googling and found some answers, actually it has to do with the sql database collation setting. To display Japanese properly, the recommended setting should be ‘utf8_general_ci’.
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8_general_ci');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
