    The problem relates to character sets. You need to find out what the character set of the feed is (how it’s encoded) and also how your site is encoded too.

    If the feed will never contain HTML markup then you can use htmlentities() otherwise you’ll need to do conversion of the feed at input so that it matches up with the same charset as your site.

    MySQL has good internationalization support too and would be able to perform this conversion.
