I just discovered that the recent upgrade of the WordPress blog software by my host/provider has resulted in all the Unicode polytonic Greek being rendered unreadable. It is either all question marks, or garbage characters. I’m trying to sort out what needs to be changed; I think it’s a setting of some sort that was introduced by my post’s upgrade process. I’ve been reading of similar problems on the forums, but I don’ have time to resolve it at the moment. I’ll try to get it fixed ASAP. Sorry for the mess in the meantime.

1. Open and edit “wp-config.php”
2. Find: define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
3. Remove “utf8″, so it becomes: define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ”);
4. Save and upload “wp-config.php”
Looks like it’s fixed now. Apparently was fixed the other day in that all older posts and all subsequent posts were corrected, but I didn’t realize it since the post on οἶκος–which is where I first noted the problem–and the first post with polytonic Greek after the upgrade–still displayed garbage. Now that I’ve edited that post, it also displays correctly.
