Fix encoding ’ [closed]

The reason commenting out (see q ) didn’t work is that the data was wrong in the database, so no encoding change could fix it.

I restored the database by copy pasting the sql script into PHPMyAdmin, and the text box interpreted the text as having the wrong encoding. By using import in phpmyadmin and selecting the file, that data came in correctly.
