Check that you are using the same ASCII character sets all around, in the
db, in the html output

Subject: Character encoding issues: Pound-sign "£" becomes a "ú" -
why?
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 13:01:36 +0000
Hello,
I'm experiencing some odd character encoding issues. My PHP webpage is
displaying test from a MySQL database. What happens is that I export data
from an SQL Server database to a MySQL (4.0) database. Somewhere along the
line the British currency pound-sign "£" becomes a "ú" (u with somesort of
accent on it!). I cannot figure out why this is happening and what to do
about it.
I could use a PHP routine to find-and-replace the chars but surely there
is a way to tackle the root problem?
Any ideas gang?
Alex
