Question

I am having a hard time understanding how to insert the registered trademark sybol and copyright symbol to my mySQL database using php.

When I insert the normal character of the reistered trademark symbol, it returns some random values when I try to retrieve it.

Answer 1

You can look into converting the copyright/trademark symbol from and into an HTMLEntity in order to ease data transfer to the database.
