Problems with unicode after mysql db import
-
Hi,
I am experiencing an issue after migrating the database content from my previous WordPress installation.
In many places instead of rendering proper characters I see ‘�s � �’, indicating some issue with the encoding. But I’ve checked everything, tried multiple combinations of myslqdump command, updating the collation in phpmyadmin doesn’t help either.
It seems like ‘DB_CHARSET’ is incorrectly set by wordpress.com to latin1, while it should be utf8
Have you seen anything similar before?

Hi! By default we do use Latin1 – if possible please do convert your database prior to re-importing. There’s a brief note about it in this migration guide too:
