Have you tried feeding that through htmlentities()?
e.g. echo htmlentities("Га");
see if that outputs what you want on the page.

I've been searching for quite some time now and tried several functions,
but didn't find a solution. I hope somebody can point me in the right
direction.
The problem:
Russian text is entered through a web form. It's a rather badly
administrated external webserver with old versions of everything, so I
can not set the table to UTF-8. In the MySQL-Table the text gets
converted to something like "Га" as an ASCII text.
Using PHP I need to get the text out into a plain text file, as a real
UTF-8 string.
How can I convert this? All the conversion methods from PHP that I tried
failed, as the text seems to really consist of the individual ASCII
chars like "&", "#". Therefore, a normal to-unicode-conversion doesn't
change anything.
Thanks in advance,
Andreas Jakl
