I don't think that's the way they're stored--maybe the way you see them esp. if you're doing the query on a "terminal" that doesn't support the encoding in question... > Also, I've seen it in that form in the $_POST array from a form. I've never seen this one. For example, any Japanese characters $_POSTed would *always* show them as they were when you do a print_r($_POST). If not, most probably it has something to do with the way you display the page (e.g. wrong encoding). - E - __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
