LainaaConvert HTML-entities to UTF-8 characters
This function will convert all characters that are stored in the database as HTML-entities to UTF-8 characters. This is especially useful when you have just converted your forum from a character set like ISO-8859-1 while non-latin characters were used on the forum. The browser then sends all characters as HTML-entities. For example, the HTML-entity α represents the greek letter α (alpha). Converting entities to UTF-8 will improve searching and sorting of text and reduce storage size.
but its not happening
structd here
please help

Are you using a UTF8 language pack? If not, that could be the issue. A link to your site would help as well.

If you look at the smf_messages table in phpmyadmin, what is the collation for the 'body' field?

Was your board already utf8, and you ran the option for utf8 again? I'm not sure how that would affect utf8 characters...

What I'm saying is that if your board was already in UTF8, and you ran the conversion again, that could mess up the database. I'll try and do some testing to see how it affects the board.

How did you upgrade? Just upload and run the upgrade.php script?
Have you tried to convert the DB again, not just the HTML entries?
