Topic: Keymap problem when converting to another forum

We are trying to convert punBB to another forum software with some features we need for our forum.

The new forum with the old data works just fine except that the Swedish characters åäö is written with strange characters (Ã¥ får å for example). Writing åäö in a new post works just fine. I also been trying to view the new forum in both utf-8 and iso-8859-1 so I guess it's something wrong with the converting itself.

I am not familiar with how text are stores in databases so I need help from someone with more experience.

I changed iso-8859-1 to utf-8 in Lang/Swedish/common.php in my punbb directory.
'lang_encoding'            =>    'iso-8859-1',

I guess this is not effecting the database itself? Can it have somehing to do with the converting? Should I try to convert again?

Any other tips?

It isn't, but that's all the help you'll get in here. We're not here to help you convert to another forum software.
