Are you saving it to a DB ? Just have a try by adding <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> inside your <head> tag

PS: Please follow http://www.codingforums.com/postguide.htm
1) Do not cross post your question in multiple forum categories- When posting, there is no excuse to post the same question in multiple categories in hopes of getting a quicker response. This is called spamming, and can get you banned. Choose one category that best accommodates your question, and post it there, once. If you're following up on a question, reply to the original thread, not start a new one! Everyone here is volunteering their time to help out others. The least you can do is make their jobs easier and less confusing.

You'd need to set the connection charset before inserting/retrieving your data.

(Assuming you are using mysql. Or else, there would be an equivalent option in all other DBs)
