I'm parsing an rss feed and inserting the data into a mysql database.

There are a lot of special characters that are formatting all wrong.

the trademark symbol gets inserted into the database as ’

how do I parse the xml so that I get the proper formatting.

can I format the characters when I read from my database or should I format the character on the insert?

Use a UTF-8 character set ;)
