    SQL Imports & Wierd Characters :(

    Just upgraded my software and imported my data, however certain characters are not being displayed correctly.

    See example here

    Any ideas?

    Without been harsh. This is actually the most useless description of a problem, i've seen on hexus to date.

    I'm going to guess at whats going on thou, your using some awful out of the box set up, i'm going to assume its LAMP.

    I'm also going to assume that you've imported data with a differen't line ending convention, as UTF7-8-16 should be fine.

    close?
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)

    It's useless, because I've now resolved the issue

    Basically I had funny symbols instead of characters like: ` ' " -
