hey If the text is supposed to be parsed from a mySQL to a HTML webpage, using € or € should display a € sign. A simple replace would then do the trick.

We use Perl and DBI, and we have no trouble storing or retrieving non-USASCII characters. What are you using to access the MySQL database? Tom Haapanen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 October 2001 06:23 To: Mysql@Lists. Mysql. Com Subject: Non Ascii characters I'm having a problem with the sending of the new euro € symbol into the mysql database through a standard SQL stament. I have tried everything cut and paste or ALT 0128 on the command line but all I seem to get is a ? character stored. I know it can be done because I have managed to enter the symbol using a program 'ArtAdmin' by artronic to enter the data but this will not be usable because I am trying to write and web based from system to submit information. Can anyone tell me how to get this symbol in and are there any others that might casue trouble. I have not been able to find anything on this in the manual or previous posts.
