We are still running vBulletin 4.2.5 on a Ubuntu Linux Server. We recently upgraded Ubuntu to 20.04, and that brought in MySQL 8.0. We are still using PHP 5.6. Since the upgrade of our OS and the upgrade to MySQL 8.0, spanish accented letters are no longer displaying correctly. It may be that any foreign accented letters are affected, but Spanish is the only foreign language sub-forum we have. Everything else in English. We are intending to upgrade vBulletin to Version 5, but for the moment, we are still dependent on 4.2.5.
Is MySQL 8.0 causing this problem, and if so, what do we have to look at/change in order for Spanish accented letters to display correctly? If more information is needed, let me know and I'll do my best to provide it.
