[TYPO3-english] strange characters on webpages after immigration

[tom]

Hi,

I checked both my old and new databse is:utf8_general_ci, and typo3
configuration: [BE][forceCharset] = utf-8 My typo3 version is 4.5.
So now the only way to get rid of the strange characters is to delete them
manually, right?

Blessings--Tom
