They are getting converted in those functions I posted.
They display correctly when in the text field, but when inserted to
the DB by that functions, they get converted.
Then when I echo them out of the DB they are the converted chars.
I think it may be the table or table cell, but I read somewhere on
php.net that hemlentities doesn't always convert correctly.
Hence my asking of this question.
notice that htmlentities() has several params... incl. one for the
charset:

But now that I re-read your OP, I am thinking, WHY are you saving
the data entity-ized at all? My understanding has always been to
save the data just *as it is*.. and if you LATER need to entity-ize
it (for example: for display on a webpage), then do that at the time
you pull the data out of the db for display. Of course this would
require your db/table/connection are all of a charset that can
handle the characters you are asking it to save into the db.
I have a UTF-8 db that saves content in dozens of languages... and
it works fine.. and none of the data has been messed with at all
from what the language-specific user input.
