 Priority:  high          |   Milestone:  2.8      
Component:  General       |     Version:  2.7      
 Severity:  major         |    Keywords:           
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The current WordPress 2.7 has automatically set the collation for all
 tables set to "latin1_swedish_ci" except for wp_terms,
 wp_term_relationships and wp_taxonomy with "utf8_general_ci". Because of
 this issue, the multi-byte characters such as Japanese, Korean and etc are
 unreadable in the Page or Post editor of Site Admin.

 The workaround:

 Manually set each each field of all applicable tables to
 "utf8_general_ci". Can you guys please fix the problem? thx.
