Re: Getting strange characters using latin1 with latin1_swedish_ci

[vick]

Is your problem is not displaying the correct characters OR you get the wrong character than what you expected ?

If your expecting any wild characters(japanese, chinese,gujarati) then I suggest you to change the CHARSET as utf8.

One way to verify the which character is to get its Hex value as SELECT HEX(columname) FROM table;

Good Luck!
