Hello all,

Please help. How can I make my form textareas accept Russian texts? I made some forms for a Russian site I’m doing and the comment were “when I type I get funny looking characters and ? question marks instead of the Russian text!”. Can someone please help me? I’ve been trying for a week now but cant seem to make it work! :sigh:

Thanks.
