4885	non-ASCII UTF-8  characters in messages on admin pages are displayed incorrectly	anonymous	nobody	"Hi,

I pulled the latest code from SVN 2-3 days ago (around July 13, 2007), which has the unicode branch merged. In general it works very well with UTF-8, but here I noticed a small glitch:

When following the ""poll/choice"" tutorial example, if I enter some non-ASCII characters (Chinese in this case) when editing a poll question on the admin page, after ""save"" button is pushed, the confirmation message is displayed as:

The poll ""???????"" was changed successfully.

Notice the ""?"" mark above?

I beleive I have set all my settings correctly (mainly the MySql charset settings), since my poll question is displayed correctly at other places on the admin page.

Thank you for taking a look into this.
