 I was looking back at old posts, and noticed that characters which were
 working have been mangled at some stage in the wordpress upgrades. Things
 like é changed could be changed back, but Indic characters, when
 corrected, revert to the mangled state.

 For example: http://www.murky.org/blg/back-in-delhi/

 I had some bengali on this page, this worked well - but has now been
 replaced by ?????

 I can demonstrate that it was working, as at a later date I exported my
 site over to wordpress.com as a backup

 http://murky.wordpress.com/2006/08/13/back-in-delhi/

 --- and as you can see, the bengali is visible here, (though not
 semantically correct as I had to be cunning with the coding due to a bug
 in winxp or mozilla)

 I have tried to fix this at murky.org - but every time I do, it's replaced
 by ???? again - obviously quite frustrating.

 The vast majority of the site is in English, but I do want to be able to
 show non-english characters from time to time.

 My charset is utf8:
 define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
 define('DB_COLLATE', '');
