Both. I see the strange characters in web pages, in php-created PDF
files (using FDPF), and in the command-line mysql client if I use a
terminal connection through SSL using putty. All texts come from the
database (otherwise I would have used HTML entities in the first place)
and are translated to HTML with the htmlentities() function.

Now I write this, I see there is a parameter to this function that I can
try.
