After upgrading my Wordpress install, Arabic text simply wouldn’t render - even in the post edit screen. As soon as the post was saved, it became “??????”

After a lot of searching around, trying different themes, using code to force the font, etc… here’s the solution:

In your wp-config.php, delete the two lines,

define(’DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Wheee!!!
