I have a multi language forum and there is one problem.
Some letters changed to �.
My Phpadmin shows me that I use UTF-8 Unicode (utf8).

All problems are with european characters like ë, é ö etc
What can I do.
I have read this http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=10013.
So I think I had to change the UTF-8 to 8859 in my phpadmin.
Is there something I had to change in the forum config?
In the language file (inc/languagues/yourlanguage.php) change the charset to UTF-8 if your using UTF8 in your database.
I allready have UTF-8

// Sets if the language is RTL (Right to Left) (1 = yes, 0 = no)
$langinfo['rtl'] = 0;

// Sets the lang in the <html> on all pages
$langinfo['htmllang'] = "en";

// Sets the character set, blank uses the default.
$langinfo['charset'] = "UTF-8";
Voln� debata

must be

Volná debata

I think sometimes it is ok and sometimes not,


Could this also be that I do regulary some database optimize??
Well, there's nothing right now that I can provide you that will fix your encoding. Consider it a shortcoming of MyBB 1.2. However, in MyBB 1.4, we've added a solution that should properly convert the tables to UTF-8 for you.

Sorry I cannot be of more help!

And when I change UTF-8 to 8859 in the forum and mysql database won't help?
It might, I cannot guarantee anything though.

There you can see what I mean I still hope for a sollution, maybe there is way to solve in stead of wait for a new version.
What is the differents to MySQL charecterset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) and database:

Database Collatie (collation)
deb_forumikf latin1_swedish_ci

Do I had to change the database also to UTF.
When YES will this give any problem?

This information I found with phpmyadmin
