@Gloria169

What Tim Fountain said is correct. Alternatively, you can replace the characters in your existing data. Depending on what your allowed characters were at the time of data entry, the issue is often limited to double and single curly quotes, and hyphens. As those are commonly allowed in text entry fields and differ between UTF-8 and 8859.

Your new server is sending back a Content-Type header that gives the charset as ISO-8859-1, here's a sample response:

Cache-Control:private
Connection:Keep-Alive
Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Length:13693
Content-Type:text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Date:Fri, 14 Aug 2015 17:49:07 GMT
Keep-Alive:timeout=5, max=100
Pragma:private
Server:Apache


If you have access to the Apache configuration, take a look for AddDefaultCharset - you want it to be something like this:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
