I have a wordpress website when I tried to update the wordpress version to 5.4 it asks me to upgrade the PHP version. I did the upgrade from the server and when I back to the site before updating the wordpress I see all characters written in Arabic on my website changed to question marks. Then, I updated the wordpress to 5.4 and nothing changed. I checked the wp-config.php file and I found the charset set to utf8

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

But the MySQL database set to

Also, I checked the web page header 

<html dir="rtl" lang="ar">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />

Then, I added the following two lines in the php.ini file located in the public_html folder

default_charset = "UTF-8"
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8

Below an image of the tags section for example

The connection parameters must agree with the encoding in the client.

Arabic cannot be correctly handled with latin1.

The question marks occurred during INSERTing the data; the data is lost.

For a list of causes of "question marks", see Trouble with UTF-8 characters; what I see is not what I stored
