Posted by Cyrusexxp, 05-16-2012, 12:51 AM Hi guys, Recently, we moved our server to a new host and started seeing strange characters all over our pages. I have done extensive research on this. Changing everything to UTF8 to going to reading settings and entering UTF8 there. I have also used this: UPDATE table_name SET field = Replace(field, Char(160), ‘ ‘) It actually made things worse and added even more question marks (via http://www.adamkparker.com/2009-12-2...amond-in-mysql ) I have tries solutions here: http://blog.salientdigital.com/2009/...black-diamond/ But the black diamond question mark still shows up in WordPress. What's worse is I can't find it when I search for it using WordPress search or phpmyadmin There is a suggestion here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Convertin...Character_Sets But it is a bit complicated. I was wondering if you guys have dealt with stranger characters in WordPress and how do you go about fixing them. This does not cover all the characters I need: http://digwp.com/2011/07/clean-up-we...s-in-database/
