Check to ensure that your config.inc.php localization settings are the same in 3.x as in 2.x:

pkp/ojs/blob/754e833274e7ea89d76faacedb40ef0f60618fbd/config.TEMPLATE.inc.php#L190-L197


; Client output/input character set
client_charset = utf-8

; Database connection character set
; Must be set to "Off" if not supported by the database server
; If enabled, must be the same character set as "client_charset"
; (although the actual name may differ slightly depending on the server)
connection_charset = Off

If your upgrade also involves a server change, ensure that your new database collation matches your old database collation.
