I have a site up that has a form on it. The form POSTs to a php script which then inserts the data into my database. The page has a charset=UTF-8 attribute in the <meta> tag, and the database is setup to use UTF-8. However, when I copy and paste characters from MS Word into the field, the output is messed up.
For example, the quotes in
I am using "Microsoft Word" ''''
become
I am using “Microsoft Word†????
in the database.
Anyone have any idea why this might occur?
