I use my own code to drive displays but what is happening when a wysiwyg field is pushed out is that right and left apostrophes (like `) are showing as invalid utf-8 characters. What I have been doing is manually editing the db record to change them to ’ which works but then wrecks things for later editing in cams. I did try str_replace to convert the characters but it seems as though the field is already munged in he return from the table.
Any suggestions?

Hi Larry,
I wasn't able to recreate this yet. I created some angled quote text and it displayed correctly on reload in the CMS and in the viewers. Here's my sample text:
Hello “world” test
Some things to try:
- Do the quotes redisplay correctly in the CMS?
- What charset does your browser indicate the viewer page is displaying in?
- Try to load the record directly and display it. Does it still not display correctly? Sample code:
$record = mysql_get('news', 1); // table name, record num
showme($record);
exit;
Let me know what you find out. Thanks!

I resolved it by doing this;
$row['content'] = Cleanup::makeUTF8( $row['content'] );
The page is set to UTF8, but not showing the stuff correctly obviously I have something setup wrong but I simply can not find it. Oh well hammer it to compliance.
