This makes the whole thing further vexing. I actually put this on the back burner for the moment, but will have to return to it shortly, for I keep finding bad encoding in my archived posts, which drives me nuts! David,

I had considered that, but the issue for me is during the upgrade all of my database tables, save a few plugins tables, are now UTF8. This makes the whole thing further vexing. I actually put this on the back burner for the moment, but will have to return to it shortly, for I keep finding bad encoding in my archived posts, which drives me nuts!

I've been through all this in upgrading from 1.2.5a to 1.3.3. I've added a forum post here: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=6899&page#post-46894 Essentially I checked the encoding being used by my MySQL database, found it was Latin1, and have changed WPMU 1.3.3 to match. It currently seems happy with that, in that the spurious character issue is fixed, and blogs can be created, updated and accessed OK. Latin1 might not be as crazy a choice as you think.
