Dynamic text shows up weird

[matsper]

Whn pulling dynamic text from a MySQL db, some texts that contains foreign
letters (?, ?, ?), shows up showing only a square instead.
Is this some kinda configuration issue in MySQL or?
Can?t find a solution on MySQL homepage.

Thanks
Mats

You probably don't have the proper language pack installed in your browser.

Thanks for replying Nancy,

I?m swedish so I?m using the swedish browser and all other things works ok, it?s just when pulling dynamic text of MySQL it looks weird.
Any more ideas?
Thanks

This probably has to do with the swedish unicode locales. Can you please
tell us what kind of stress mark are you triying to put. It also has to do
with your MySQL version since it seems to handle unicode on a different
way also.

MySQL have some words on this here:
[url]http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/charset-unicode-sets.html[/url]
[url]http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/4.1/unicode.html[/url]

""utf8_swedish_ci, like other utf8 language-specific collations, is
derived from utf8_unicode_ci with additional language rules. For example,
in Swedish, the following relationship holds, which is not something
expected by a German or French speaker: ""

Ü = Y < Ö
