When I use special characters like swedish å, ä or ö, or e.g. é, they show up like �.<br /> I notice that in the bbpress database, special characters that I use in posts are stored with what I think is utf8 in the DB (e.i. they look strange), but/and they all look ok when displayed in the forum. Names in the wp_users "display_name" however are stored with the latin character but show up wrong.</p> <p>The conversion was made following this manual: <a href="http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/23/how-to-convert-character-set-and-collation-of-wordpress-database/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/23/how-to-convert-character-set-and-collation-of-wordpress-database/</a></p> <p>Any thoughts on this, anyone? </p>
