Another more minor issue (which I probably should've included in my previous bug report, in retrospect) is that certain (non-Latin) characters aren't displaying properly since the server migration.
Although the list of characters not displaying properly is far too long to list here, it includes all Japanese Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji characters (such as those in the names of many of my groups and blogs on here), as well as all of the ones listed in this profile page of my friend @Siling-La
(There are plenty of other symbols/characters that aren't displaying correctly either RN, though.)
All of the Japanese characters [A= /member?id=137730]my profile bio[/A], as well as those in the names of my groups and in my signature, and those in the titles of many of poetry and lyrics blogs.
Also all of the non-Latin characters shown in this blog, as well as this one (and the comments on it), and the Futhark characters in this blog.
(I use a lot of special characters, lol!)
Oh, and although it was messed up too, I was able to correct the issue with the title of my ☆Ryuusei no Tami (流星の民)☆ myself by re-entering the affected characters myself.
(This would obviously be extremely difficult to do everywhere, though, and it can’t be done with things like blog comments, either.)
It looks like the issue may have been part of the porting process across servers. I was able to manually re-encode some characters in that sample page, and they seem to display correctly, but I'm not sure yet what can be done for content that already exists. I'm not giving up yet. Do you have any more examples?
