CHARSET non-Latin character problems on new server

    A few weeks ago my self-hosted site was moved to another server. Since then non-Latin characters have not displayed correctly in my posts.

    E.g. If I type ‘Σε σταυροδρ?μι φα?νεται να βρ?σκεται η αγορ? ακιν?των’ when I save a draft of the post it changes to ‘?? ??????????? ???????? ?? ????????? ? ????? ????????’.

    My wpconfig.php contains:
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    .htaccess includes:
    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

    And my Header includes:
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ />

    I’m using WordPress 5.2.2 and PHP 7.7.2

    I’m using the ‘classic-editor’ plugin, but deactivating it makes no difference.

    Any thoughts on where to look next?

    TIA

    I’m glad you see it that way ?? I didn’t phrase my last post well. Saying it’s an unrelated problem could be seen as deflecting blame, and that is not my intent at all. I know now you don’t see it that way anyway so I guess it’s moot at this point. All I needed to say was the site failure symptom does fit a wrong charset problem.
