helloo,

I've been trying the converter and have hit almost every error that Nando was getting (and the fixes have worked for me so far)

but I've hit a new error not listed here:
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]
Incorrect string value: '\xAB°...' for column 'forum_name' at row 1 [1366]
SQL
INSERT INTO phpbb_forums (forum_id, forum_name, parent_id, forum_parents, forum_desc, forum_type, forum_status, forum_rules, left_id, right_id) VALUES ('1', '�۩۞۩ ��������� ��������� ۩۞۩�', 0, '', '', 0, 0, '', 1, 2)
