 * Maybe this…Be sure to backup your database first.

 * It is assumed you have a database in the latin1 character set that needs converting
   to a utf8 character set. latin1 is the tragic default of MySQL and the most likely
   to be the problematic format of older copies of WordPress. UFT8 is the best way
   to support all internet-friendly languages.
 * Marking as resolved.
