    How to change charset to utf-8

    Is there a quick way within vbulletin to change the character encoding to utf-8 to fix a problem with characters like "& #8220;"/"& #8217;"/ect. and Japanese text not being converted, i have iconv installed as suggested before and it does not fix this problem.

    Languages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Edit... Put your character encoding in the space.

    Settings -> Options -> Censorship Options. Remove the characters from the blank character stripper.

    Edit your config.php and search for UTF-8. Uncomment this line, save the file and upload to your server.

    Finally, you need to convert your entire database to UTF-8 if it isn't already.

      I will do, but how do I change the headers sent from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 in both the html and php.
