8915	"Multi-Byte characters not readable because ""latin1_swedish_ci"" is set by default of WP 2.7 Install"	misty9	anonymous	"The current WordPress 2.7 has automatically set the collation for all tables set to ""latin1_swedish_ci"" except for wp_terms, wp_term_relationships and wp_taxonomy with ""utf8_general_ci"". Because of this issue, the multi-byte characters such as Japanese, Korean and etc are unreadable in the Page or Post editor of Site Admin.  

The workaround:

Manually set each each field of all applicable tables to ""utf8_general_ci"". Can you guys please fix the problem? thx."	defect (bug)	closed	high		General	2.7	major	wontfix
