I’m trying to move my WordPress blog from Windows to Linux, but I’m seeing a weird character encoding problem in the Linux version that I’m not seeing on Windows. (I had thought it was an issue with the way I used mysqldump to export the data, but after upgrading mysql, dumping, checking, etc., I’m pretty sure I did that part OK). The data in the database on Windows is exactly the same as it is on Linux.
Here’s what apostrophe’s look like on my Windows blog:
And here’s how it appears on the Linux blog:
As you can see, there’s a weird ΓÇÖ series of characters instead of an apostrophe. Is there a setting in WordPress that I need to change to get it to render it correctly?
More details:
Windows, I’m getting back in the response the following bytes for the single apostrophe:
E2 80 99
Linux, I’m getting back bytes for ΓÇÖ:
CE 93 C3 87 C3 96
