The quick fix is ,just edit the language file generic.php .
Changing the charset value from utf-8 back to iso-8859-1
Assuming your database tables are set to Latin-swedish or they could well be utf8 now.
That can be done via the UBB CP or just ftp and edit the file
But you should pursue to go all out for UTF-8
It is a modern standard and sooner or later you will not have a choice.
It is a do it now or do it later with more headaches.
As far as the other weird characters they can be fixed for the most part.
Somewhere on my PC I have a text file with SQL update queries that will correct the common ones.
