Is there a way to recover mangled encodings like "Ch�Teau"?

The words seem to contain that replacement question mark, '\uFFFD'. Which means data loss, but also a simple marker to find those values.

Make a table with as primary key the wrong string. Repairing might be easier than thought. In the example the capital R after the qm instead of r might stem from word wise capitalisation. i?r is most likely i e-gauche r.

A regexp replace then will do.

However it might be easier to reimport a corrected database dump. The repair does not need to be in SQL.
