Character Encoding

Post by Benjamin »

I have a bunch of ä characters in a database. They are showing up as boxes with question marks on them in web pages. The database table encoding is set to utf8_general_ci. What is the best way for me to fix this?

Can you change the character encoding in the HTML page? Also, depending on your browser, you may not be able to get rid of them. I know FF has had an issue with rendering certain character types (showing diamonds with question marks).
