Was working on a database job last night, and ran into a little stumbling
block, hope all this comes though in email, if you see a ® it is a
"registered mark" just in case the email clients out there change it around.
So I have a simple database, one table, and say one field, varchar(14) and
in it I put hello®, I use html input form elements and a middleware called
WebSiphon, I have also done this in php with phpmyadmin as well, the
character shows up on display in the Browser as a "registered mark", as well
as in phpmyadmin, all good so far.
Now, in my shell in the mysql prompt, or on a dump of the data, the
"registered mark" is not what it should be, here is a example.
mysql> select name from custom_bikes;

Where the Æ should be a ®
How do you know this isn't simply a failure of your terminal window
to display the character properly? That's the most likely problem
here, not that your data are stored incorrectly.
So in my middleware, I have made a function called encodeHTML(string)
And of course it does not work to convert the ® to ® for propper html
display in a browser. Granted, most browsers are forgiving, but I consider
this muddy data in MySql and would like the correct data in there.
Thanks for any help.
