missing latin characters

[snoop1979]

i am changing host provider so i made a dump with phpmyadmin then restored using bigdump on the new server, also upload all php files.
forum work but characters like ? ? ? ? has been replace for weird characters, how can i fix this? or where is the problem in the dump? restoration?, i noticed on the original host all the tables are latin1_swedish_ci and after import they seem to be the same (latin1_swedish_ci) on the new server, what it could be? :confused:

"?" its been replaced by "ñ" also just noticed that on the old host phpmyadmin all tables show 33.8 MB on the new server shows 48.4mb

This is generally caused by the host mysql server having the wrong charset running on the server you imported it into, check the following mysql variables

character_set_client: latin1
character_set_connection: latin1
character_set_database: latin1
character_set_filesystem: binary
character_set_results: latin1
character_set_server: latin1
character_set_system: utf8
