Getting these � symbols instead of euro symbol and speech marks etc.

Hi. I've had a few sites recently that once I've transferred from local to live server I get � symbols instead of things like euro signs speech marks etc.

I'm using utf8 in both databases, so I'm not sure what else would cause this? Re-typing the euro sign in perch fixes the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Wayne

Are you exporting and importing using UTF8?

Yes. I've just re-exported and imported to double-check. Both UTF8.

Do you have PERCH_DB_CHARSET set in your config file?

Are you serving your pages with a UTF8 header?

Adding the following to the config file has worked, thank you.

define('PERCH_DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
