utf-8 special characters not displaying

Question

I moved my website from my local test server to NameCheap shared hosting and now I\'m running into a problem - some of the pages aren\'t displaying utf-8 special characters

Answer 1

If all the other answers didn't work for you, try disabling HTTP input encoding translation.

This is a setting related to PHP extension mbstring. This was the problem in my case. This setting was enabled by default in my server.
