What is the encoding of the page in PHPMyAdmin?
(Right click, View Page Info in Firefox)
How does the character appear in the page source in PHPMyAdmin? Is it encoded
as an HTML character entity (é or something like that), or output
directly?
The key with solving character encoding issues is knowing exactly how
characters have been stored and encoded at every point in the system - from
initial input, stored in the database, any conversions on fetching from the
database, and on output to the final page. Once you lose track of the encoding
then you are in trouble.
