Hi,

does anyone know how to solve the problem with MySQL 4 (on Win and
Linux) that converts special characters like n-dash (if you hold down ALT
and press 0150 on num keys) or typographic quotes (ALT+0132, ALT+0147) to
question marks?

Example: INSERT INTO test SET column = '\„Hello there\“'        -> '?Hello there?'

It's got nothing to do with escaping quotes or whatever - it must be
something else.

This worked without problems in MySQL 3.x but doesn't work anymore in MySQL
4. Strangely those chars are inserted via LOAD DATAFILE but not with INSERT
or UPDATE statements.

Does anyone have this problem as well?


Thanks in advance!

Torsten Roehr
