Hi,
I need to allow Japanese characters to post in my forums.

The interface is all in English but some of the post themselves would be in Japanese.

I changed the Charset to utf8 in the language editor but there still seems to be some problem. Is there a setting in the database itself that prevents these characters from posting?

I am still behind on updating -- 7.4 and working on getting up to date. (Editing the templates every update is time consuming)

Does the latest version work or what changes do I need to make?
