    I just changed servers from a managed server to a VPS and it is all seeming to work ok except durign the transfer over I lost my ability to use double byte characters, the site is teaching Chinese students English online so double byte is definitely needed.

    All my Chinese writing has turned into symbols and not sure why it happened, guessing it’s a database error but thought I’d just see if anyone here knows what hte problem might be. You can see the problem clearly on the page below.

    My database collation was in latin1.bin and I changed it to utf8_general_ci but I understand that is just how things are ordered so it obviously did not help. What is controlling how my characters are actually being displayed here?
