The first is to use htmlentities( ) on the text you are inserting into the DB. The next solution involves changing things to utf8 using utf8_encode( ) and utf8_decode( ) later. The final solution is to use mb_internal_ encoding( ) and make sure all your scripts are UTF8 encoded and send the correct headers to the browser and your HTML is utf8 too. Good luck.
