Database recovery for ꩰ.com is looking very good. Every table is intact. Reindexing got rid of a lot of the noise, and while there are still a significant number of bad rows, there are still a very large number that remain. Currently working on copying good rows into new tables that can be exported from the bad DB and reimported in the live DB.

I am extremely happy with this. We could back up as early as tomorrow?

When I'm done, and I find the time, I'm definitely documenting this process.

I guess I can start now.

Step 0: cry

@north I am astonished that the cause is not your dogged insistence on angering the Unicode gods.
