Different database versions = weird effects
There’s been something of a move to the utf8 character code in various items of software but they don’t all implement it 100% correctly which results in some quite confusing errors in other software that uses it.
For instance, the version of MySQL that we were using for this blog on the previous hosting service was 4.0, this one is 4.1 and that’s been the source of endless hassle in moving from one to the other as Wordpress tends to use a lot of special characters and they aren’t handled correctly in MySQL 4.1.
