    [Forum] Charset issue

    Hello, i was using ISO-8859-1 for my English forum in language settings charset, i had recently to switch to utf-8 charset because i opened a unicode languages section in my forum but a problem appeared and i guess it's the only problem for and that is all ' symbols changed to � in all threads titles and content, example:

    Thread's Title > Thread�s Title

    is there any fix for this issue?

    Note: tried replacement variable but it didn't work.

    Is this only new posts or existing posts?

        Find an old post with this problem in the database -has the ' been replaced in the post text?

          I don't think it's a database problem, because when i set the charset back to ISO-8859-1, everything looks good, a switch back to utf-8 again will cause the same issue, it's vbulletin/language issue i guess.

            What do you have set in Language Manager > select language to Edit Settings > HTML Character Set ?

                Huh? I was asking what you have set there and you didn't answer that question.

                      My issue is not in new threads, just in existing ones, and once i revert to ISO, they all look fine but i need utf-8 now.
                      And those suggestions did nothing too.

                            We do not use UTF8 here and those languages work fine here.
