It looks like your string is in UTF-8 encoding, but the output is  
converted to Latin-1 or whatever. Check the following points: 
 
1. All scripts (PHP, HTML) are in UTF-8 encoding 
 
2. Send UTF-8 header to the browser: 
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'); 
 
3. Set also the appropriate Meta tag in the HTML source (should not be  
necessary if correct header is sent, but you never know about browsers): 
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> 
 
 
BTW, Please get used to bottom-posting when you correspond with  
newsgroups and mailing lists (add your answer below the text you quote,  
rather than above as you do in normal e-mail).
