Hi Xavier

Yeah, I checked the deprecation log (which was over 50M) and saw a lot 
of entries about UTF8. Then checked the wiki and read about

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['setDBinit'] = 'SET NAMES utf8;';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['forceCharset'] = 'utf-8';

Setting these in the localconf.php solved the issue! Thanks!

I still have quite a few tables/fields in the db which are collated with 
Latin1 but I'm not sure if I still need to convert them all to UTF8?

Best regards and happy new year,

Michael
