I had a "specialist" which put characters in the posting and title tags which resulted in some funny "vertical" text and strange letters ....
Someone was saying similar things can happen also in phpBB

So it would be better to clean the entered data.
The user suggested to use mb_check_encoding to prevent so-called "Invalid Encoding Attack".(http://php.net/manual/de/function.mb-check-encoding.php)
