Hi,
I have setup Drupal 4.7 for the first time. I sent my first story but encountered an problem. In add a story screen you can input non-english chars. Even in preview screen they look fine. But when it's published those non-english characters are replaced by ? (question mark). How can I solve this problem?

p.s: I haven't changed any setting and all charsets are set to UTF-8.

All the admin pages are displaying correctly. It seems only _new contents like story or page_ are not displayed correctly.

Most likely you used the MySQL 4.0 database schema (database.4.0.mysql) on a 4.1+ version. Use the 4.1+ instead (database.4.1.mysql).

I think you get that if you use UTF-8. Try using ISO-8859-1. No idea how to change it in Drupal itself, but if you're using Firefox, go to View then Character Encoding and select ISO-8859-1 from the list. If that fixes it then its a character set issue, not a database issue.
