Body: <p>See screen snippet below. The question marks and other graphical items normally displayed throughout the CiviCRM UI are showing as squares with the unicode. This is a dev instance, copied (codebase and databases) from a production instance using the instructions <a href="https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/misc/switch-servers/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. The symbols show correctly in the production instance. What did I mess up?!?</p>
  
  <p>CiviCRM 5.23.1 and Drupal 7.69.</p>

Comments.Text: Humble apologies. Feel free to post a response along the lines of "Children, remember to triple-check your civicrm.settings.php" and I'll up-vote it. I could've sworn I had adjusted it but, alas, it still pointed to the production base url. Symbols now display correctly.

The symbols show correctly in the production instance. What did I mess up?!?
