Thank you - I have seen this article, but I have some doubts about the  
approach. Maybe changing MySQL to UTF-8 is necessary when modifying  
existing forums. In the rest of my application, though, I found some  
other steps useful that are not mentioned in the article - such as  
sending an UTF-8 HTTP header, adding an accept-charset attribute to all  
form tags - but setting MySQL to UTF-8 was not necessary. 
 
So I did not feel too much comfortable with this tutorial. 
 
If I don't find a bbs application that uses UTF-8 natively, I think I  
will prefer miniBB; it looks just smaller and easier to modify.
