I have no idea when/how/why the site's db got upgraded and I'm beyond stumped about why the config/language files did not also get upgraded... but holly-frikken-lujah it's working like a charm baby!!!!

Awesome. Thank you so much for the help, MC!

Hopefully there will be no other repercussions from changing that, like payment processing or some other mod wanting iso-8539-1. But if there are, I'll deal with it later.
As eluded/discussed by DrByte and I have seen this, you may want to take a peek at the define pages at a minimum to validate that they are not already encoded in "latin1" then also other "places" where specifically latin1 was used (though that would be easier to identify through a comparison program of old to new or original to edited).

Congrats that things are working (better). would suggest updating the referenced thread to summarize the "solution" or at least the condition.
