It took some times to eventually succeed in changing Movable Type to deal with UTF-8 encoding instead of the default ISO-8859-1. I had added

  PublishCharset UTF-8

in mt.cgi but I just found out that I also needed to uncomment this line:

  NoHTMLEntities 1

Doing this after creating a weblog can result in corrupted special characters (accents) in templates and entries. I had to load all forms that contained such characters and reenter them.

I can now import my blogger posts in an UTF-8 file. I am doing all this diectly in this weblog so the site will be messed up for a while until I am done.
