 * Hi,
 * I am not a tech guy but i have managed to transferred my website from one server
   to another, everything was fine but now when i add new posts in my site it is
   showing ’, ’ character in my new posts, old posts are showing correctly.
 * When i check config file it was showing me define(‘db_charset’, ‘utf8mb4’); i
   tried to change it to latin, utf8 but nothing works.
 * After that i used firefox old version and change the encoding from western to
   utf8, then the character of the new posts are showing correctly then i added 
   <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ /> code in
   the header, this works in firefox but still in chrome i am seeing incorrect character
   in my new posts.
 * Can anyone please help me to fix this issue.

 * If the old posts are showing up correctly, I suggest you to comment these lines
   in the config file:
 * >  //define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
   >  //define(‘DB_COLLATE’,’utf8_unicode_ci’);
   > I also suggest to check your database encoding, but be careful! Don’t do any
   > changes without a backup of the db
