I am attempting to import my IPB 2.3.3 db to VB 3.6.8

My IPB db is "latin1_swedish_ci" however my data is UTF-8 Arabic.

When I attempt to import all is fine except one letter that is replaced with (*�)

Is there a way to import that data in its correct form?

Also I noticed that the letter appears fin in the user names and is only messed up in the posts.

Any help would be appreciated.

This should be a question that is posted in the ImpEx forum over at vBulletin.com. Jerry (or Marco) are the developers and monitor that forum, so you should get a better answer there.

Thanks, I already have a post there, I just figured someone here might have had a similar problem not necessarily with the import script and could be able to provide some help.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
