Ok, real quick. I just wanted to pass on something I just learned.
If you are starting to get a bunch of funny characters appearing in your self-hosted wordpress blog like  (which was all over my blog). The best way to remove it is to comment out the following lines in your wp-config.php file. You can do it like so:
// define(’DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
// define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);
Just a FYI. Seemed to work for me.

2Yeah, actually you will be commenting out the code in your config.php file.
Sorry for the delay in getting your comment posted!

3Thanks. This fix works though are there any posts regarding this? It seems that we can’t be the only ones experiencing the A^ character. Either way: thanks again!
