Huh, I'm a little surprised this hasn't come up yet. This appears to be caused by a mismatch between the character set specified in your database.yml and the character set in your mysql tables. I just did the following in my local Gitorious installation: - Comment on a merge request entering the unicode symbol U+2665 (♥). This was rendered as a "?" character in the UI. The default character set for the comments table in my database was "latin1" and my database.yml specified utf8 as the character set - In a mysql console I entered "alter table comments convert to character set utf8". This converts the table, both existing data and future rows inserted - Again, I entered the same Unicode character in a merge request comment, and it rendered as expected I'm assuming UTF-8 would be the best character set for Chinese, so that would probably be the safest bet. Is this happening on your own server, or on gitorious.org?
