Short. I am moving a database and webpage. It is now an exact copy but on the webpage it doesnt display the swedish characters correctly.

Example VÃƑ„RMARE should be VÄRMARE In the old database it is VÄRMARE in the new it is VÄRMARE

It is an old webpage on an old php version that when i am moving will be a much later php version and a mariaDB.

I think it has to do with the collation in the database for the tables but in phpmyadmin 2.11.8.1 i can't se collation for the columns.

In the head i define

<meta charset="utf-8">

I don't even know where to start troubleshooting.

Any suggestions how to troubleshoot would be amazing for me.

    Phpmyadmin version 2 is really, *really* old. Current version is 5.1 . If you're using an old version of PHP there's **no excuse** for that, you really, really should be using PHP 5.6 or newer as an *ABSOLUTE* minimum, and using version 7.3 or later is highly recommended. – Martin Mar 24 '21 at 14:26

    Yes that is what i aim for. The new host has PHP 7.4 and phpmyadmin 4.9.7. So it is much better. – Magnus Olofsson Mar 24 '21 at 14:37
