That site has a database set to the UTF8MB4 character set and a UTF8MB4 Collation. Within vBulletin the character set is UTF-8 with a UTF-8 Locale for English set.
The problem isn't UTF-8. The problem is you upgraded from an older version of vBulletin that didn't support UTF-8 and converted every character of Arabic to its HTML Entity.
