What's the database encoding of the vb3 database, what's the encoding of your mybb database, what encoding did you selected on the db configuration page and have you changed the value of "convert automatically to utf8"?

Also there are some known issues with arabic strings, however I was never able to reproduce them as in most times the databases I got were already corrupted.

so please I need help

thanks
