character set issue problem on new server

Something definitely is wrong. Today I had logged on to see my footer was missing Cyrillic letters. All of them went ???. I've fixed this issue and it last for few minutes, but reverted to be wrong again (you can see the correct version here: http://forum.wincmd.ru/viewtopic.php?p=58705#58705).

Edited: Wow! I can't even use Cyrillic in this post

that's something completely different.. let's not confuse the thread.  there is a character set issue with the new forum install -- let's discuss that on a new thread in this section.  i've been looking for some examples to help debug it, maybe you have found on.  let's start a new thread for htis -- splitting off your topic now.
