If your Bluehost email is not supporting unicode character like: chinese, arabic, japanese, or indian characters. But showing unreadable symbols and sign, then its caused by charset problem at the php.ini file. You can fix this problem yourself.
FTP login to your server and locate the php.ini file. Edit the php.iniĀ using notepad… 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 php email will now support unicode. Basically this method will fix most of the charset problem. However, if this don’t solve it, do contact bluehost support for assistant.

If above not fixed the unicode email problem, then you need to check the php mail()….
change the “content-type” line to following
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=”=-nxs_alt_3ad961771379c4f45f20d4352373c5a8″
