Ah, that's actually the critical part. I'm actually generating the data myself through PHP, but I'm getting a weird ^A character when I try to print it out in a textarea field. I'm trying to figure out if there's some weird interaction between htmlentities that's causing it to be displayed strangely. Can I trust that mysql is displaying the text correctly on the command line tool if I have 4.1, even if the charset is set to latin1? Are there any caveats to using htmlentities that I'm missing? Essentially I'm creating a form with a text area that allows people to enter in values, then they can reload the form with the text area pre-filled in for the id they stored it for.
