How can I echo exactly what´s a mysql field?

I have special characters on a table (á, é, í, ñ... and so...), they are not encoded, i.e. "á" is "á", not "á", I´m just doing an Insert into the database with the characters as they are...

The field uses latin_swedish_ci.

How can I echo exactly what´s on the field... Right not it outputs stuff like "�" for "í"...

This thread discusses your problem exactly. Give it a read:

Thanks, the "(in Firefox 3) go to View -> Character Encoding" suggestion from that linked helped me figure out what the output was, then using utf8_encode($string), did the trick.
