Unfortunately we have tried that, I am not the developer and he has basically said the problem is this...

"We cannot pull the data from the database in UTF-8, putting the UTF-8 header is fine, but to change the encoding we issue a character set command to mysql, this usually changes it to whatever we specify, but in our case it wont change it from the default which is latin."

Could this be to do with the version of mysql or php? Are there any known bugs?

Changing the character set works fine locally and on our development server, the problem seems to occur when pulling through from database..

We have recently built a site with cms builder sitting behind it, however when inserting a £ into the body of one of the fields it is displaying as a weird simbol, I've tried using £ which works in some of the fields but not all. Also having extra spaces will cause the character to be added.
