 * Hi,
 * As a Chinese user, I wish there could be UTF-8 group names support in this plugin.
 * Could you contain this feature in the next release?
 * Thank you very much.

 * At first glance, I’m not sure why it’s not. Can you help me diagnose this?
 * Are the UTF-8 entries stored to the database (use phpMyAdmin to check table wp_groups_rs,
   column group_name)?
 * If so, is there a particular place where the group name is not displayed correctly?

 * Yes, they’re stored in the database.
 * All places that the group name are displayed showed up as question marks.
 * Yesterday I manually changed the group_name column’s encoding to utf8_general_ci
   and everything worked. So I guess this is just a minor database encoding issue.
 * I think you’ll just have to simply set the encoding to utf8_general_ci (and correct
   collation) when creating the table, then UTF-8 will work.
 * Thanks.

 * Okay, I just overlooked that and will correct it in the next version.
 * Do you also have a problem with the display of multibyte role names alongside
   other group checkboxes for role assignment?

 * I’m not sure if I caught your meaning correctly, but except for the group name
   problem, everything works pretty well.
 * Thank you for this awesome plugin, I’ll translate it into Chinese when I have
   time.
