    Hi,
    I have this site https://www.dakshinbharat.com/ this site is in Local Language Hindi, I had to change servers and this is what I did.

    1. I first moved all the files and folders to the new server
    2. then SQL export and import of the database into the new server
    3. Changed the nameservers to point to the new server.

    when all the pointing was complete and when I go to the site, all the hindi language is now garbage text.

    has anyone experienced this? any help would be great.

    Thanks,

    Ok I got this one fixed, looks like it was some problem with the database import.
    1. I exported the data again. To be specific in my case since the database was huge I used the SSH command mysqldump to directly create the exported file on the new remote server
    2. deleted all the existing tables in the database on the new server
    3. Imported the database from the sql file using the SSH command : mysql

    and checked the site and everything was back to being normal.
