I inputed Chinese characters in article from frontpage and background. They are supposed to be displayed correctly with utf-8 encoding. Unfortunately They were displayed as "????????????". I checked browing encoding, it's utf-8. I've never met this strange situation ever in joomla 1.1.3 as long as I set charset=UTF-8 in template. Could someone tell me what's going on with this problem?

Have you made a default installation?
What are your system parameters?
(OS, PHP, Mysql, db encoding, etc. )

I experienced the same problem making a fresh 1.5 test-install (on my computer) and later trying to adD database (from an operating RC 2 or 3) or simply add content - it corrupted my characters.

I tried it on my localhost (on computer) and the database was automatically installed as swedish latin 1 instead of UTF 8 CI. I changed this in the database as well as in tables and still it does not work.

The operating website is www.upol.si

My system:

1. window Xp, Apache 2.24, php 5.23, Mysql 5.0.45,

I did default installation. And I noticed Db encoding. On default installation Db encoding is set automatically at swedish latin 1. I changed Db encoding to utf-unicode-8, but it doesn't work.

Problem solved! Db encoding should be utf-8.

then install step by step

encoding db is very troublesome
