Joomla 1.5 encoding problem in chinese
I have used the fantastico at cpanel to create my joomla instance. I found I can't type any chinese characters, after saving, they became like "???". The problem is the collation in mySQL database is set to latin by default. My solution is create a sql dump and ten replaced to collation on each table and field to utf-8.

Actually, it is not a very big task. I generated sql dump and do “cut & paste". Finally, I replaced all “latin” to “utf8″. I ran it in the mySQL. 5 minutes job!
