I read that PHPWiki supports Chinese text, and this is a crucial feature for me in selecting a Wiki package. However, when I tried entering Chinese text into a PHPWiki sandbox, the text just came out as a string of question marks.
Is this because that particular Wiki was not configured properly, or is it not true that PHPWiki supports Chinese?
Thanks,
Scot

It's a configuration error, you have to configure CHARSET=utf-8, and you have to use a new version.
We don't have yet full utf-8 support with all internal string functions, but the basic feature set works as you can see at
