Hi, my Mediawiki 1.7 can't display any UTF-8 characters. My MySQL server defaults to UTF-8 and my tables usually have collation latin1_bin. This is exactly how things were set up when I installed Mediawiki. However, my interwiki links did not work until I changed the collation of column iw_prefix to latin1_swedish_ci. Even now I cannot use any UTF-8 characters in Mediawiki. I have another install that runs most columns (not all) on latin1_swedish_ci and there UTF-8 seems to work fine. I'm now wondering if I have to manually change my columns on the non-working install to latin1_swedish_ci or if there is also a way of getting this to work with the latin1_bin columns.
Any hints on this?
Cheers, Christian
