On the site they are not displayed as ASCII code. This is down to the page encoding for your forum.

By default it is set to UTF-8 which supports the above characters, if you edit the file includes/setup_options_inc.asp yo can change the encoding, but this will only effect new submissions.

I gotta it! The issue can be fixed in file "includes/browser_page_encoding_inc.asp" changing to another character set listed here. Anyway, thanks.

You are running an older version, in the later versions it is in the includes/setup_options_inc.asp.

For improved support of character sets like the one you are using you should upgrade to the latest version.
