I use a WordPress theme for a blog but some other features were asked to add such as adding post programmatically to blog. After coding it works fine but I faced a problem with wp_insert_post while using special characters. When it tries to insert a post which includes special character it gives an error. However, the theme which is on Wordpress can do it. What am I missing?

By the way it works in local even with special character 

$var='ıışşüüççç'

$new_post = array(
    'post_title' => $var,
    'post_content' => $leadContent, 
    'post_status' => $postStatus,

    'post_author' => $userID,
    'post_type' => $postType,
    'post_category' => array($categoryID),
    );

    $post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);

Thanks in advance

    What coallation does the database use? What character set does WP connect with to the database? Did you read [UTF-8 all the way through](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/279170/utf-8-all-the-way-through) and follow the examples there? – h2ooooooo Nov 01 '18 at 15:36
