Description

As the title suggests, I have a weird bug with the tiki wiki 11.1 which is installed on windows server 2008 R2 with php5.3.27 and mysql 5.5.33.
Whenever I try to commence a search with a specific Hebrew character (all other characters work ok), after the search page loads it transforms the letter into a black background colored question mark.
and of-course doesn't find any matches for that word searched for.
also if I search for the word without that specific letter it does find what I am looking for.

please help me as I've tried almost everything already from changing db char-set to manually adding utf-8 wherever it is needed.
I looked over the php code of the search module but couldn't figure out the problem (also its extremely difficult to dive in to a huge project such as this so it might have been right there in front of me and I couldn't tell).
This bug renders the search option completely useless which makes the wiki itself useless for my needs, the search module is very crucial and must work perfectly with Hebrew.

I attach images to further explain the issue
