How do you mean "pasting into MySQL"? Which program do you use on the destination side?

Query browser *and* an in-house Perl Gtk2 app both produce the same results. I'm pretty sure I mentioned them both throughout my original post.

You can use clipboard to copy into mysql (the console application), phpMyAdmin, some visual program, etc.

Anyway, if your database is iso-8859-1 / iso-8859-2 (Latin1 / Latin2) coded, you won't really able to store euro sign and special quotes with it, as Latin character sets just contains <255 different characters and special quotes are not in these characters. You should use utf-8, or you can store these characters as HTML encodings (&#8222;).

I've also tried utf-8 now, both with Query Browser and our Perl Gtk2 app. This also produces exactly the same results. I can't go back to using the mysql console, as other people have to be able to do this, and they require a GUI.
