Hello,
I am trying to have all my body text for a news website I am building, inside a MySQL DB, and when I echo it out in PHP, it shows symbols like � instead of ". Can anyone help me?

Thank you,
EpicAsian

P.S. I've tried the ASCII, ARMSCII8, latin1_swedish_ci and utf8_Unicode

I fixed it, i guess all i needed to do was change the type to utf8_unicode_ci and in the HTML, put utf8_unicode_ci in the META tag
