I've been trying to convert my db, which was a mess of latin and utf8. I found the previous WP plug-in and it butchered my posts, clipping them after any non-latin character (I write in English, but use em-dashes like their going out of style). Your plugin worked without a hitch! You have no idea how grateful I am! Thanks again for fixing the previous version :) Dude, you rock!

The new versions (after 2.2) is using utf-8. This is why when I restored the db, somehow the encoding matched wrong and I had many weird characters in the copy.
