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.Translations provided by Google.
