Here's what we have. We have a database that was entered in latin encoding that is now UTF-8 Charset, and utf collation, but the data in the fields is the same. (when we changed the charset and collation the data was not converted)
The database connection is in utf-8, but some special characters, like non-breaking spaces, and other weird html entities show up as garbled text, diamond ???'s or just ?'s once we switch the pages they're brought up on from iso-5589-1 to utf-8.
I need to know, is there a way to find these entries so they can be fixed, or is there a way to convert the data entirely?
It isn't a problem if I *leave* the english pages as iso-5589-1 encoded, but that leaves my other more pertinent email problem outstanding, which the only solution I've found is to convert the english pages to utf-8..
