SMF 1.1.1 with CPG 1.4.10 Unicode code are shown up instead of actual characters

[wjhjoomla]

I used the bridge to connect SMF 1.1.1 with CPG 1.4.10. Category name:

"舞会相册" is shown as "舞会相册" which is what exactly in DB as utf-8 code. Will someone tell me what went wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Is this caused by the bridge?

Here is the situation:

Once enable the bridge it changes to the mess code and it turns back to the character once disable the bridge.
Any other info you need to tell the cause of the problem?

Thank you.

P.S. This is what should look, after I disable the bridge.

I see. Try this quick code change to bridge/smf10.inc.php

find

Code Select Expand


                $this->connect($db_connection);


change to

Code Select Expand


                $this->connect($db_connection);
                cpg_db_query("SET NAMES DEFAULT", $this->link_id);

Unbelievable! It is all set and wish someone post this correction as I've found many people having the same problem.

Thank you very much.

Also, will you kindly help me to remove the links I put in early?

Thanks.
