The only
thing I can think of, is that by importing the file back to the
new db, the content of the dump file is encoded again.
And that's why those two cryptic chars, are now four.
Ü (1) -> Ãœ (2) -> Ö (4)
Ups, last one are 5 cryptic chars ... it was
late ;-)
So, I am unsure if my theory is correct.
Yes, your theory is correct. mysqldump will be too intelligent.
