Russian text

[soloway, spy]

Hi.

I'm using your plugin and when I post a message in Russian, it
crossposts to my LJ in abrakadabra.

Please, help.

Almost the same thing, but did some digging around.

It all started when I've seen abracadabra in LJ instead of cyrillic
characters in tags. I managed to fix that by removing the utf8_encode
() calls everywhere where taglist was concerned. And the trouble went
away. Same thing was with the post title - it crossposts ok.
The problem, as I see it that utf8_encode tries to encode a string
that is already in UTF for the second time - it workd well with
Western alphabet, but doesn't with cyrillics (and probably any other).

But for now I can't tackle the post's body problem: there's no
abracadabra there - the symbols are simply not shown in LJ. Tried to
remove utf8_encode() from $the_event, didn't work.

Thanks for any ideas/updates!
