I am able to create a topbar with serbian text staying the same. The text I used was:

“Добро дошли на мо?у интернет презентаци?у.”

What UTF encoding is your database in?

(To find out, use the WP System Health plugin. After activating it, go to the database tab — if you are having issues loading that tab then look in the address bar at the right end should be a ‘shield’ icon, you can click on that to and load the “insecure content” — see https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/OrwppKWbKnc).

You should see a Charset (DB_CHARSET) heading. Does it say “utf8”?

Bob

Charset (DB_CHARSET) is utf8.

In your wp-config.php, do you have these parameters set?

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

wp-config.php is ok.

This is help me to figure out where is the problem.

In phpMyAdmin go to “wp_topbar_data”. Then change “bar_text” and “bar_link_text” Collation from “latin1_swedish_ci” to “utf8_general_ci”.

Thank you Bob!
Cheers!

Glad you got it worked out! I may need to add to the Debug page a report that checks the encoding of the database.
