Comment (by murky):

 Steps taken:

 1) Back up database
 2) Make empty database
 3) Import old database to new one.
 4) Assign database user mentioned in wp-config to database
 5) Backup wp-config
 6) Edit wp-config to refer to new database
 7) Test - check all is working (e.g. make a change in WP, then swap wp-
 config back and forth to be sure it's all swapping as expected).
 8) run database change plugin (ignoring warnings that it's not been
 tested)
 9) Observe the database in phpadmin, note utf-general-ci
 10) be amazed it all seems okay now (although I am having to manually re-
 edit the bengali), at least this time it sticks.
 11) Leave the original database sitting there untouched for a while.

 Thanks
