    I also have this problem…Not too sure how they plan to fix this one. I’ve even tried reposting with the correct characters but, they still show up scrambled.

    I just managed to fix this, you have to open your wp-config.php and look for any differences from your old wp-config.php and your new wp-config.php

    Most likely, you’ll have an entry similar to:

    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

    Try changing it to

    define('DB_CHARSET', 'UTF-8');

    I guess this is a good lesson on why they say NOT to delete the wp-config.php…and if you try to transfer coding from old file to new file that you know what you are changing.

    If this doesn’t work, try eliminating that entire line out of the code.

    Good luck =D
