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.
You right,
the problem is in ssh client. The same data received and sent again is not the same for the database. However, everything is ok when script works taking commands from a file, this solves the problem.
