It looks like something went wrong during the import, causing imported posts to get the wrong character encoding.

I fixed one at https://speculative-science.codidact.com/q/225476, but have come across others as well.

Can this somehow be fixed in bulk, ideally in place without having to re-do the import?

It would be a pain to have to go through everything and manually fix non-US-ASCII characters.
