[jQuery] Problems with special chars in jQuery Form plugin

[Remko]

Hi,

I use the Form Plugin to store some user info in my database. When
inserting the data i have some troubles with special chars. Words like
Rëmkó will be converted to Rëmkó.

I submit the data to a file like this

$DB->query("INSERT INTO exp_members (screen_name) VALUES ('".$_POST
['name']."')");



Does anybody know how to fix this?
