Description

System variable "character_set_client" is set to "latin1" by default, but the characters wordpress is writing into database are not in latin1, but in UTF-8. This results in that the UTF-8 characters are considers as latin1, and are converted to UTF-8 again.

2.2 sets this for new installs when it does SET NAMES. Nothing is done for existing installs, however. Setting this to whatever the user selects in blog_charset is difficult because blog_charset is stored in the DB. We have to connect to the DB to get the charset.

DB_CHARSET can be set in wp-config.php. Calling that good enough.
