I would like to set my vBulletin software to use UTF-8 encoding.

How can I convert my vBulletin posts from using Latin 2 (ISO-8859-2) encoding to Unicode (UTF-8)? I have thousands of posts, so I cannot do it manually. I am currently using MySQL 3.23.58, but will be upgrading to 4.1.x.

Through a web search I found the command iconv, but I am not sure if this will work.

Do I convert the complete vBulletin database to Unicode or are there some tables that should not be converted?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
