Sorry everyone I am very new to this.
I had other forums on my site that display Japanese characters. They also display on my article pages.
I just installed CB... Great so far!!
When post is made in Japanese the characters switch to ??????? when posted.
What do I need to do to get them to display in CB?
Depends entirely on your database collation if those characters can be stored or not. Check that your database has a default collation of utf8mb4_unicode_ci. Next you'll need to be sure your tables and their columns have collations of utf8mb4_unicode_ci. You can use something like Akeeba Admin Tools to change the collation of your database tables quickly if you're unsure how to do so using phpmyadmin.
