Everything you need to know to setup a forum for non latin language is in the wiki. The short story is: mysql database must use utf-8 encoding. I recently sorted out a folk's forum in japanese wis the very same problem: the database were latin1 and then any non-latin character is lost an replaced by ?.
Thai language is tis620 encoding.
should i change it to tis620 ? or utf-8?
if tis620, i've changed it but still doenst work.
still get question marks (??????)
Thx u so much
I advice to use utf-8 which is universal and allows mixing of different characters set (latin AND Cyrillic and Thai and Japanese…) Here is a test of random Thai characters: à¸à¸‚ฃคฅฆง and Cyrillic: привет
Be aware that changing the database encoding is not enough if you have already installed Vanilla and then created tables inside. You must : - either empty the database, change default encoding and reinstall - or change the database default encoding and export/transcode/import its content as explained in the wiki.
