 * In my case, it was that I didn’t edit and rename the wp-config-sample.php to 
   make my new wp-config.php, simply copied the old one. _Adding,/em> the extra 
   lines (__including_ that DB_CHARSET line) back in to the wp-config.php file was
   the thing that solved the weird character problem for me.
 * My weird characters were not the  and †kind, though – I had little black diamonds
   with what looked like tiny white question marks in the middle! Anyway, using 
   the correct wp-config.php fixed it right up.
 * Hope this helps someone…

 * Kafkaesqui, thank you. That’s just what I needed to get the “Uncategorized” category
   off my Pages!
