*!!!!! I think that this post needs some modifications, as not all is working as expected. Any tips and comments are very much welcomed. (Think I have resolved the issue …. check UPDATE section at the bottom)

I am in the process of moving my blogs from wordpress.com to my own wordpress.org hosting. While doing so, I got stuck with the problem. My blog posts use several different languages, especially Russian and Hindi, apart from English. Once exported from wordpress.com using the built-in feature and imported to newly created blog, posts with other than English were not shown correctly, i.e. I was getting ????? instead of letters. So, how to fix this.

There are two ways: One is to edit wp_config.php file only, as mentioned in II, or the way, especially if you are starting a new blog, as I had a small problem at the end (see remark after I), though am not very much sure if this gives me extra benefit for future imports/exports, but does sound better.

Notice: I installed Wordpress using the Fantastico script provided by my hosting company, and my hosting provider has phpMyAdmin.
