Topic: [Resolved] Cyrillic excerpts displayed as question marks "???"

See http://goo.gl/73lNH :

  • The Russian comment in the main column is displayed ok;

  • But an excerpt from this comment (in the right inner column) is displayed as question marks "???".

I double-checked that all database tables are utf8.

I don't know PHP enough... all that I understand is that there must be some non-UTF8 aware string function that converts UTF8 characters to '?'.  So you hunted down and identified this UTF8-unsafe function to be chunk_split()? Great!

I'll wait for a new release...  the issue is not affecting me often because the blog is predominantly in English. Thanks a lot!
