text gets cut off

[souperman]

My board is having issues with member's post, signatures, PMs, etc. Their text gets cut off when the following characters is foreign or non-US standard character. Like ó or even the ` apostrophe. At first I thought it was magic quotes, but I disabled it via php.ini, but the problem is still there.

So to reiterate the problem, when a user enters text in a box some of the text/post gets get cut off if the following character is foreign. For example "My name is Sam, Helló what's your name?"

In that sentence, only "My name is Sam, Hell" will be posted and will ignore everything to the right of ó

Hope that make sense. Any thoughts on this?

MySQL uses utf8_unicode_ci

What are the rest of the char variables for sql?

What are the char's used in the corresponding db table?
