UTF problem cant access anything

Where did you change the setting?

I believe it was options-reading.php.
I remember I was looking to adjust coding for RSS feed.
I first applied UTF-4, with no difference. Followed by UTF-16 which is where the problem occured. I read through the code and believe the function blog_charset is what set it; whether it was to another PHP page/function or to the database is beyond me.

I’ve considered backing up the database (something I have to ask the school to do for me) and rolling in the new update manually and hoping it’ll be a fresh start, using the same database. But, if it’s posted that to the database, then the problem will remain in a fresh version.

Thank you for your reply as well as in advance for your time.

Okay, if you can’t get to the admin to change it, then you will need to change it directly in the database. I have a video showing you how to change the url in that same table of the database…watch that video, but instead of changing the url, find the blog_charset field…in my database it is in record 36. Do what I show in the video to change this from whatever it is to UTF-8

Thank you very much! Will post back about status of it.

Actually used firefox to view in different coding and was able to fix it admin side. Thank you!
