Re: Strange characters after moving db and upgrading

OK, so realizing this was called double encoding was what I needed, thank you Guillermo!

So, what I did to fix:  I brought over the old database that was from my 2.1 Moodle

Then, I ran this:

mysqldump -h DB_HOST -u DB_USER -p DB_PASSWORD --opt --quote-names \--skip-set-charset --default-character-set=latin1 DB_NAME > DB_NAME-dump.sqlmysql-h DB_HOST -u DB_USER -p DB_PASSWORD \--default-character-set=utf8 DB_NAME < DB_NAME-dump.sql

Then, I just went to the site, which forced me to upgrade my db and all was well!  Hope this helps others.
