I have in the database words that include special character (in Spanish mostly, like tildes). In the database everything is saved and shown correctly with PHPmyAdmin, but when I get the data (using PHP) and display it in a browser, I get a weird character, like a ‘?’ with a square… I need a general fix so I don’t need to escape each character every time, and also I would be able to insert special Spanish characters from a PHP form into the database…

The HTML is correct:

<meta http-equiv='content-type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />

All tables and databas are set to utf8_spanish

The character I get: �

Any suggestions???

Thanks!!!
