=== Plugin Name === Contributors: aercolino Donate link: http://noteslog.com/contact/ Tags: utf-8, unicode Requires at least: 1.0 Tested up to: 3.0.4 Stable tag: 1.0 Full UTF-8 adds support for all the UTF-8 characters: 1, 2, 3, and 4 bytes long. Without this plugin, WordPress only supports up to 3 bytes. == Description == WordPress does not support full UTF-8 characters because MySQL 5 doesn't either. This means that for example you might add unsupported UTF-8 characters to the content of a post, and all will apparently work fine until the next time you save. When that happens, any character after the first unsupported UTF-8 character will be wiped out without notice, and when the editor reloads the content is truncated and the rest is lost. 1. Example: Let's suppose that the asterisk (*) is an unsupported UTF-8 character. 1. Example: Let's suppose that the asterisk ( Above, the first line is what you are seeing in the editor before the save, and the second line is what you really saved to the database and got displayed back !! For making WordPress (and MySQL 5) support full UTF-8 characters, this plugin escapes any character with a unicode code point between 0x10000 and 0x10FFFF (1,048,576 supplementary characters). This plugin enables full UTF-8 support for: * writing, reading, and searching * title, excerpt and content * posts and pages == Installation == 1. Upload `full-utf-8` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
