I'm pretty sure this question has been asked a few times. In fact, you, yourself, have been told about character encoding issues previously.

PHP will not natively support unicode until PHP 6.

But that doesn't mean you can't handle unicode in php at all. php does not display unicode, that's the client. I.e. a ? is a problem your browser has with displaying a character. It might be the result of a php script trying to treat a unicode string/sequence/whatever as a plain-old-1byte-string. Might be but doesn't have to be. Hard to tell with this little information.
