    I downloaded a copy of the database using WordPress Database Backup plugin from a machine with WP 2.0.5installed. I then installed 2.0.5 on my machine and used phpMyAdmin to restore the data from a SQL script. Everything looks okay except special characters like apostrophes and dashes which are being displayed as diamonds with questions marks in Firefox and question marks in IE. Anyone have any idea what I’ve done wrong?

    Thanks
    Steve

    It’s probably related to an encoding problem…

    Drop a look into this thread:

    It won’t give you all the answers, maybe, but will point you in the right direction:) Something with the encodings in your case went wrong, at the moment of backup and/or restore MySQL, and you should dig deeper to see what and where.

    (Note: This question maybe should be better addressed to How-to and Troubleshooting)
