Description

When I run the habari first time, it will execute install process. I can input blog title in Chinese, and save it. then, blog's homepage is shown, but the title becomes "?????", every "?" presents a chinese charactor.

And more odd thing is that, when I go to admin page, and reset my "Options", it supports Chinese very well. I can even mix Chinese and Japanese in my title, and it shows very well, too.

I am using SVN version r1315 and db is sqlite, host is DreamHost.

I think that I found why. My website is hosted on DreamHost, and its apache seems setting the default charset but NOT UTF-8. When I install the habari (on the stage of installer), the encoding of browser (firefox) is GB2312, not UTF-8. However, after the install, the home page of habari is encoded by UTF-8. So, the blog title that written in Chinese was saved into sqlite db with GB2312, but when I browse the website (not install stage), the website is encoded in UTF-8, so the title became unrecognized.

And I have fixed it . Just put 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

into <head> </head> block of /system/installer/db_setup.php to force the page into UTF-8 encoding.

Yeah, very easy, but it works.
