Hello everyone,

Currently my database in PHPMyadmin is UTF8__general_ci and I backup and restore the database using utf8
but in Zen Cart I've got Internal Character Encoding set to ISO-8859-1 and DB Collation set to latin1. I've never had any issues with the database but I understand that I should switch to Utf8 to ensure stable and clean importing when using Easy Populate. I've downloaded the MySQL-latin1-to-UTF8-Converter.

Are there any major issues or pitfalls to doing this?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Zen 139h
MySQL 5.0.95
PHP Version: 5.3.10
