The problem begins when users havent installed asian languages, but you can try a little workaround to fix the problem

find line 1005 of modules/Forums/viewtopic.php

PHP:

'POST_SUBJECT' => $post_subject,

and replace with

PHP:

'POST_SUBJECT' => Fix_Quotes($post_subject,1,1),

in case this will not work for you replace it with

PHP:

'POST_SUBJECT' => utf8_encode($post_subject),

Most likely utf8_encode will fix the problem for them but will output garbage for us.

the problem with utf8_encode comes when the text is already utf-8

PHP:

utf8_encode(utf-8_text)⇒ garbage

None of the above have any effect on the display. Maybe it wasn't the correct line of code that requires changes.

Below is an example of how the title shows garbage characters:

Why does only the title have such issue? Is this a bug in coding somewhere?

Could you get a screenshot pls.

Here is another screenshot. Sorry if the image is a little bit big.

Even after changing different language packs, it still displays the same problem.

This could possible be a font problem? That particular header and page title in that theme uses "Trebuchet MS" font by default (if exists)

The rest of the site uses Veranda

Just an idea

YOU ARE A STAR, Kuragari!!!!

I've removed that "Trebuchet MS" font and BANG! it WORKS PERFECTLY, displaying correct characters!!! I'd also like to thank Akuma & NanoCaiordo. I really appreciated for all your help & quick responses!

Cheers!!

Which themes have these issues then? Does anybody know?

Any word on why the Dragonfly theme shows blocks instead of arrows in the Firefox windowtitle?

The site is in maintenance now, but last time I visited it looked like a modified cpgnuke/default to me. If I remember well it was modified, having a PH2-like header.
