UTF8 Database Converter
This tool will convert your IP.Board 3.x database to UTF8 (with a collation of utf8_unicode_ci).
This tool has a web interface and a CLI interface which is preferable where permission allows. The download zip contains full instructions inside the "readme.html" document.
Your original data is not overwritten until you confirm that the conversion has been successful so you can test this out as many times as you like.
