WordPress removing special characters

    Wordpress is removing special characters from page/posts? I checked to make sure the DB was UTF-8, which it is.

    I tried adding this with no luck: 

    //TEXTURIZE (remove)
remove_filter('the_title', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter('comment_text', 'wptexturize');

    This site was transferred from another server but all of the old content still has its special characters but when I go to edit a page it removes them.

    Thanks,
    Josh

    I figured it out now… When the site was sent to me, they had this commented out:
    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
