Hi all. I am running WPMU on dreamhost. MySQL charset is UTF-8 Unicode.
I try to type some Chinese in WPMU admin, such as site name in Site options. However, MU displays "???" instead of Chinese character after saving.
Chinese characters display as "?????" in WP site admin panel (6 posts)

I think you mean your browser is displaying those characters. Do you have the Chinese language pack instealled for whatever browser you're using?

thx for replying.
I am using a mac which can display Chinese well. I tried the same operation on Firefox and Safari with different text encoding setting. They don't work. Every Chinese character in sub-blogs is fine, only doesn't work in Admin level. -
yichenzhang,
I believe you have to set proper encoding in the beginning of .htaccess file. Something like:
CharsetDefault utf-8
CharsetSourceEnc utf-8
CharsetDisableAcceptCharset On -

after adding your suggestion to .htaccess on WPMu's root folder, the page can't be opened with a "Internal Server Error" error page.

Your WPMU database is in UTF8, but I guess your mysql-client might be using latin1 when connecting to the database. That is the problem.
