My forum is in Spanish. I have spanish language pack installed but words display those strange codes making some words not readable!

I will help myself and others looking for the answer to this problem as support ticket response was totally clueless and I don't find any help around this forum.

Wasted on ton of hours looking for this simple answer when I should be golfing and having beer. Set the damn thing to UTF-8.

AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Edit Settings -> HTML Character Set -> UTF-8

Then make make sure the spanish xml language file charset is set to UTF-8 too or you'll get stuff like "Finalizar sesi?on", "?tima visita", "?ltimo mensaje" and weird stuff like that in your forum.
