database chinese encoding?

Hi,

I am trying to enter simplified chinese into the zencart database (e.g, category/product description) but it displayed with ??? (question marks).

I know it's to do with encoding and database charset, but please tell me in detail how to configure properly.

*Sorry if this post is repetition, but i couldn't find the thread with the guide.

Thanks

I have got the same problem. I have installed the chinese language pack and changed all php files to utf8, also my data base is utf8_general_ci

My website and admin panel can display chinese language properly. But when I try to entry chinese into heading or product discription. it shows ????. I can even see chinese in preview. but after update it change to ?????.

Need help please.

My site is www.monocollectibles.com
