Hello,
After importing from PHPBB3, strange text characters / symbols are appearing in Posts on VB.
Details:
Example of Result:
Commas and Quotes are way off.
I've had 3 separate migrations since purchasing, and each time, this occurs throughout posts. But, not even ALL the way through the posts, just intermittently.
Any idea what this could be? I'm at a stand-still until I know how to correct this issue, which is throughout thousands of posts.
Thanks
EDIT: Someone mentioned this could be due to VB not encoding the UTF-8 characters correctly. I'm not sure if this is true? Has VB had any difficulties with UTF character encoding with import / migration?
After importing from PHPBB3, strange text characters / symbols are appearing in Posts on VB.
Details:
- There were no bbcodes used in the posts prior to it being imported. No addons, no plugins - nothing.
- The posts were plain text prior to being imported.
- A single post can be half error filled. And the other half of it, is not.
Example of Result:
- The sentence: "I didn't know that."
- Appears as: “I didn’know thatâ€
