I'm guessing you mean the UTF-8 replacement character "�": <http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/fffd/index.htm> That would suggest the data coming out of your database isn't actually encoded in UTF-8, but is being displayed in UTF-8. Some browsers helpfully detect charset mis-matches and will automatically switch to the correct encoding, and others don't. Are you certain the data stored in the database is actually in UTF-8? Do you have an example page that shows the problem? - Bil
