Hello,

I am trying to get the following symbols to print out when called from a sql database € and ¥ . I keep getting a �.

Can anyone tell me how I can decode the symbols so they come out normally!

Thanks

I think you should set this at top in php
ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8');

and html

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />


and do not use css to print that kind of symbols


i hope it works

I have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
at top of every page so its not that....

But I will ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8');

see if that works...

Not sure why?
