Importer encoding bug

[ytzong]

Using SQLite. Import from wordpress, and the language of the posts is Chinese.

When imported, the title is Chinese, but the content is garbled, please fix it, thanks.

Hi @ytzong, and welcome to Ghost's github repo.

Ghost currenty has plans to allow for internationalization (see https://trello.com/b/EceUgtCL/ghost-roadmap for further details). The problem with chinese characters I think is the encoding the database uses. Can you confirm what encoding your wordpress datase tables use? I think it's either Big5 or gb2312.

Ghost uses UTF-8 encoding, so representation of traditional or simplified chinese characters will be wrong.

I'm not sure when this is going to be a solved problem (cc @novaugust @jaswilli @ErisDS @sebgie ), but it's something we're working on.

Thanks again for the report.

When I setup a wordpress in local with MYSQL in UTF-8, and import data from old wordpress, then Export to Ghost, the problem sloved, thank you very much.
