In plain html, we often have (”) double quotes, and (’) single quotes. A special php function called htmlspecialchars is used to convert them to their char codes. For some unexplained reasons, even if you supply “utf-8” as an argument for the char-set to this function, it still converts all utf-8 chars to their codes. So in all of my php-pages, whether of Wordpress, or UrduWiki (WikkaWiki), I comment out this function, or in other words the special char translation, otherwise, the display seems quite okay but in editing, you will get codes like (& # 12541 ; ) instead of Urdu unicode characters which are quite impossible to edit.
