double byte chars break

[Kseki]

double byte (ie: korean, japanese) characters in the title or keyword of image turn into gibberish

eg:
이효리 =
something like this: 2394@#)&$&(&&#47532

vb 3.7.x
gallery 2.4.3

Can you browse the database with phpmyadmin on the image to see if the information is ok or gibberish ?

Table: ppgal_images
Field: title

I am looking to isolate if the error is in the submit of the data to the database or reading the data that is submited.

not 100% sure how to do that (n00b here).

can you step by step through it a bit more for me?
sorry for the hassle.

I have 1 better, can you e-mail me a image with the characters on the image name. I will test on localhost and work out an answer.

Well since I dont see any answers to any questions I am going to assume this sounds to me like an issue that we dont support those languages. Now if you load the proper character set on the page things should display fine.

Where you able to see how things are stored in the database?

[Kseki]

nope. I sent the info and that was the last I heard of it. I'm still wary of touching the database since I'm a n00b.

loading proper character set didn't do anything

You can email support at photopost dot com and give me logins examples etc and I can see how things are done and see what I see. Can not comment on my Zach has not responded after getting your info as I know thats been awhile.
