Hello All,
I have a question related to national characters support. At home I'm working on Windows machine and when I select Russian UTF-8 strings I see data of doubled length. Unfortunately, strings I have for some category names and pagenames do not work on the toolserver. When I select the same data from a database, the symbols encoding I see in ssh terminal is completely different.
Who knows the common way to use national strings extracted on windows machine in queries on toolserver? Or maybe this is just a ssh client issue?

Could you please tell us which SSH client you are using, I presume you are using Putty - if so there is a option in one of the menus for setting the character encoding - but to be quite honest Putty's character support is poor.
