Alright, so once I updated the MyBB from 1.6 to 1.8 I've been having some issues with the character encoding.
Characters like öåä won't show up in attachments or .cfg that's being read by MyBB.
Example:

$config['database']['encoding'] = 'utf8mb4';

It has nothing to do with database because the things that have wrong encoding are language strings. E.g. forum descriptions saved to the DB are ok. Check your inc/languages/swedish.php (or whatever it's called) file for $langinfo['charset'].

There is no Swedish langugae for 1.8 so I'm using English
This is what I got, should I change something?
/var/www/forum/inc/languages/english.php
<?php

// The friendly name of the language
$langinfo['name'] = "English (American)";
// The author of the language
$langinfo['author'] = "MyBB Group";
// The language authors website
$langinfo['website'] = "http://www.mybb.com/";
// Compatible version of MyBB
$langinfo['version'] = "1807";
// Sets if the translation includes the Admin CP (1 = yes, 0 = no)
$langinfo['admin'] = 1;
// 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";
Try $langinfo['charset'] = "ISO-8859-1";
Maybe it is a problem with database charset.
Did you edit forum with Notepad++ or other editor?
If you use Notepad++ you have to use always UTF-8 (without BOM)

Now the site is even more messed up.

Revert and check how these characters look when you edit the header_welcomeblock_guest template, if they're there.
