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.

    Yes that is what i aim for. The new host has PHP 7.4 and phpmyadmin 4.9.7. So it is much better. Commented Mar 24, 2021 at 14:37
