  Hello everybody!
   I'm try to using XWiki 0.9.840 in the own projects, but have a lot
   of problem with Russian text. Maybe I do something wrong, so please
   help me if possible.
   I'm using KOI8-R encoding in XWiki. Russian text is edited and
   viewed correctly.
   1. But it's impossible to search on the Russian - search box
   contains "????" after Sumbit. Looks like incorrect encoding is used.
   2. When I try to use Lists Syntax - it's not working at all. Some
   lines are displayed as bold, some lines as regular text.
   3. It's impossible to create new page with Russian name. It's always
   saved as "?????".
   Thank you for your comments!
