If you're getting a lot of errors during the migration from LJ...
...as I am, then this might be of some help, especially if you have a journal with really old entries in it. I don't know for sure if it will help, just that it might.
The gist: go here and change (or initially set, if both are blank) both settings to "Western European (Windows)" and it might help stop all the errors.
(EDIT) Seems like it might have helped. When I turned my computer on and checked just now, the only other messages I've gotten since then were two "Your entries have been imported successfully" and "Your comments have been imported successfully" messages. Even so, I started a second import that will hopefully snag any entries that didn't get imported in the previous one. Hopefully a bunch of duplicate entries won't show up on this journal, because that would really suck. >_>; I don't think that will be the case, though, since one of the extra options mentioned something about "re-importing previously imported entries" and I didn't check that one.
