UTF8 I want, my Asian content is now gibberish

  • I posted here:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/353848

    I’ve spent a bunch of time and the problem is possibly that WordPress changed table settings to Latin1. I tried changing them back to UTF8 with instructions I found online. However I still have gibberish instead of Chineses and Japaense.

    I have Asian content as posts, comments, categories, and trackbacks which I’d like to keep having been a WordPress user for well over three years, maybe over four years…

    Anyway I need help as I upgraded to 2.9.1 to match my employers new blog.

    Still not fixed, tried to import using WordPress all my comments and categories, before I was getting error about directory not being writeable by server so I went to 777 temporarily and got this:

    Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I will contact my webhost, but I still have gibberish instead of Chinese…

    Apparently Apache didn’t like it when I made directories 777, alas I just want my blog to work the way it did before I upgraded. Apparently testing with multi-lingual blogs wasn’t very extensive as I still have gibberish instead of Chinese…

    I thought I set all the tables back to UTF8 and re-imported using the import button, but it never let me pick a file, it just had this System Error 500 hissy fit…

    Try try again…

    This is dogging me too:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/muskie/domains/muschamp.ca/public_html/blog/wp-config.php:1) in /home/muskie/domains/muschamp.ca/public_html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

    I had it fixed to displaying Chinese, but then it said my database was out of date so it upgrade it. Now I’m not sure… I’m thinking of doing a clean install of 2.7.1 I think I had that working before I upgraded…
