Well, I've found away to convert vB forum from windows-1256 to utf-8 and it seemed to work just fine.
I submitted a support ticket to vB team to ask them about if there will not any trouble and they told me that there is no way they know to convert a vB forum encoding to utf-8 without having some problems, as vB has not been fully compatible with utf-8 encoding yet.
When I asked them about the expected time frame that vB will become fully compatible with utf-8 encoding, they told me it will be in some stage in the future but they haven't planned when exactly will be compatible.
I doubt it will be with the release 4.1, it may take till vB5.Comment
