 * Not too sure what backup from Cpanel really means.
 * In Cpanel you can ususally click on MySQL Databases and then at the bottom of
   that screen click on a link to [[phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/phpMyAdmin).

 * Maybe the suggestion here about changing the CHARSET=latin1 to nothing using 
   an editor on a copy of your backup file.
