I know this is a common question but I have RTFM and STFW until I'm blue in the face - I really need some help here. :)

I've got some forms into which users are going to enter text that frequently contains funny characters (pilcrows, foreign text, etc). So I need to encode it before writing it into MySQL, and decode it when reading it back out and writing it to the page. I've tried base64_encode/base64_decode, rawurlencode/rawurldecode, utf8_encode/utf8_decode, combinations, and others. My MySQL table is set to use UTF8 and my web pages are all set to UTF8. Most of what I've tried takes:

I need some help here! Thanks.  :)  :)  :)
