How did you move the site?

The host migrated the site for me using the function in WHM I think.
No idea what WHM is. But the error clearly happened during the migration by your host. Contact their support for clarification.

The webhost has investigated and drawn a blank. Said they are unable to help further. I am stumped :/
Do you still have a backup of the original web?

Yes, I do. Is it likely to be just the database?
Yes, it would be worth a try it. Unfortunately, I don’t know how you could proceed because I don’t know the technique used to create the backup.

So, I tried dropping the tables in the database and restoring but no luck. I can’t login. I tried restoring the current database and still can’t login it says I have no account!
My wp_users table doesn’t exist. I get this error when I restore. I’m recovering some older updates to see if they have a wp_users table.
#1032 - Can't find record in 'wp_useronline'
What could have happened?

I found a older database from 2022 and restored that then, restored the later database from today on top. Was able to login. Seems okay.

Can anyone provide any idea why this special character issue is happening? I’m lost.

Changed the DB_CHARSET in wp-config file to latin1.
And things worked….. š
define('DB_CHARSET', 'latin1');
define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8mb4_general_ci');
