After upgrading from 3.4.7 to 4.0 RC3, Unicode topic titles of my forum are not displayed correctly:

I remember that somebody already experienced this problem and posted a question on this forum but could not find the post. 

Any ideas to fix this please?

I would be also interested how to fix this.

Just upgraded my test install from 3.4.7 to 4.0 RC3 and i'm having exactly same problem.

Finnish language forums so i'm only missing Ä and Ö in all posts, topic titles and descriptions.

Edit: Noticed that user group names are messed up. I have "Users" user group modified to Finnish "Käyttäjät" name and it's showing incorrectly also.

​Please submit a ticket so I may take a look.

​Hi @Ryan Ashbrook. I posted here just to let the others (who may have the same problem) know, but before that I had already added a reply to my ticket (that you are in charge of). Thanks.

Did they also fix the converter? Cos i used the converter to mess up my database. Or does the 4.0 Upgrade convert it again during upgrade?

RC4 didn't fix the issue.

Made new test install of my live board (Works well and shows all ÄÄÄ and ÖÖÖ correctly) and then upgraded it to 4.0 RC4 and same thing happens again.

If i create topic or anything on that RC4 all ÄÄÄ and ÖÖÖ shows correctly. It's just the upgrade process from 3.4.7 to 4.0 what doesn't work and messes up the characters.

That fixed it :)

Even tho after converting 3.4.7 database to utf8mb4, forums showed empty page and wasn't accessible the upgrade went fine and all characters works now on 4.0 RC4 :)

Thank you very much!
