If your Hostmonster email can not send out unicode character like: chinese, arabic, or japanese characters, or any other special characters. But showing unreadable symbols and sign, then its caused by charset problem at the hosting php.ini file. You can fix the problem by editing the php.ini file.

What you will need to do is, FTP login to your server and locate the php.ini file. Edit the php.ini using notepad or any text editor… and add in these lines.

[mbstring]
mbstring.language = Neutral
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
mbstring.http_input = UTF-8
mbstring.http_output = UTF-8
mbstring.encoding_translation = On
mbstring.detect_order = auto
mbstring.substitute_character = long;
mbstring.func_overload = 1

By this, your hostmonster php email will now support unicode characters. Basically this method will fix most of the charset problem. However, if this don’t solve it, do contact hostmonster support for futher assistant. Remember to inform them that editing the php.ini dont work.
