Asian language input is displayed as ???? / #6562

As searching in the site, there were several posts on this topic, but seemed not resolved yet. For multi-byte asian language, the input and display seemed not okay.

I tried with the StreberPM latest version 0.803 in Firefox (ver: 2.0.0.14), and input chinese text in the title and wiki edit box, after submitting, it displayed "?????", while the "character encoding" in Firefox was 'utf-8' and the 'DB_USE_UTF8_ENCODING' option in customize.inc.php was 'true'.

Besides, the php in use is v5.2.4, mysql is 5.0.45.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
