Pasted text with special characters like single/double quotes gets cut off

There is.

1. Take a backup.
2. Go to Admin > Maintenance > Database > Convert the forum to UTF-8

Thanks. I also need to switch to the UTF8 language pack?

If you're just using English (and only ever plan to use English), no, you don't - contrary to what anyone else says. (The system will leave English ISO in anyway and will refer back to that for certain fallback instructions)

If you're using multiple languages things get much more interesting...
