    Default Coldfusion MySQL Character Problems

    Has anyone run across problems with MySQL outputing invalid characters
    with Coldfusion?

    I am having the following problem when trying to output the contents of
    a field in a MySQL table:

    When I use Coldfusion with MS SQL Server 2000 it outputs: ératé
    When I use Coldfusion with MySQL it outputs: ?rat?
    When I use PHP with MySQL it outputs: ératé

    The MySQL table is Unicode as are my CFCONTENT and setEncoding()
    variables. I am running the most recent version of the MyODBC driver and
    have looked everywhere for some sort of answer to this problem.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Donnie
