this is where I lost you... when you say "this" is not UTF8, what is "this"? All I want is that I want (1) the user to be able to type ç in the web form, and (2) I want to be able to save ç in the db. (3) Then when I look at that data, either on the command line, but definitely back on the web, I want it to appear as ç. (4) If I export it, I should still be able to see it as ç and not something else. Seems like I was able to do 1, 2, and 3 with my test case, but not 4 (I got \347 instead ç). Also, in my production case, 1,2, and 3 are not very reliable. Are you saying my data above are not UTF8? If so, I would like to know how you can tell that, so I can recognize it in the future myself. Also, I would like to know how I can do what you are suggesting I should do, that is, how can I ensure that I "use UTF8 encoded data"?
