Hindi in WordPress
See http://www.indiblogger.in/forum/topic.php?id=6334
To write and display unicode Hindi font correctly, you have to do some editing in the config.php file of your blog.
Open up ‘wp-config.php’ from the root directory of your WordPress installation.Add ‘//’ at the very beginning of these two lines:define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);So that section should now look like this://define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);//define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
TROUBLESHOOT:
The inverted commas are now seen as diamond images with a question mark inside them. Is there a way to fix that? Looks like this is a consequence of fixing the wp-config.php file.

Nothing wrong with wp-config.php file. It may be your theme or plugins issue. I think the problem is with title only. Try to retype the title and update the post
Quite a nuisance with Hindi plugins – none of them are working.
Here's a closest description of the problem:
