Comment (by DD32):

 The DB_CHARSET constants were introduced with a recent version of
 WordPress, If the database was from before then, Theres a chance its using
 the default MySQL charset of Latin1, If thats the case, And WordPress
 talks to it with utf8, then mis-understandings of non-ascii(ie. non-
 english) characters can occur.

 If you've got access to PHPMyAdmin then its easy to find the details, Just
 load up the database, and look at the "Collation" column.

 The other option is to comment out the DB_CHARSET/DB_COLLATE defines and
 see if that fixes it.

 The article i linked to before, Doesnt use WordPress at all, And so its
 export/import should work (It used PHPMyAdmin)
