Convert to UTF8

Post by sadeqn »

Hi,
I have a phpBB that use Arabic-1256 code page for Persian (Farsi) language but this not work good for some alphabets and show them as unicode codes.
I want to convert my database to Unicode format and use UTF-8 codepage in all of my phpbb.
Unfortunately my DB size is big and so It take long time to convert and replace all of data with new one. (I must note that my connection speed is so low and the DB size is currently more than 11MB and gorwing)
Is there any simple use MOD to do this?

Thank you for your answer but this not solve my problem. I'm using mysql 4.0 so I can not convert the tables by sql commands.
My main problem is converting the data in my phpbb tables to utf-8 on remote server.
