Obviously I have some character set incompatibility, but can you say what it is?

Character set problems
I have a WAMP system. If I enter a £ sign in a text box (browser set to Western ISO 8859-1), when I view the MySQL record in a command window, the character is displayed as ú. If I change the character in the record to £, I see an œ character in the text box. If I change the browser to UTF-8, I get an undisplayed character in place of the œ. If I update while in UTF-8, it writes ┐¢ (two characters) to the database as viewed in the command window.

Re: Character set problems
I'm guessing you haven't set the collation for the column in your MySQL table to UTF-8. 
Re: Character set problems
Thanks. I'll do some more reading around this.
