Japanese db text is not displaying n browser

[Simon Clegg]

Hi there,
I have a Wordpress installation whose database contains Japanese text. The wordpress site works fine but when I query the db and try to display it in a web page outside of Wordpress, the result is displayed as ??? ???...

The db collation is uft8_unicode, the webpage in which I am trying to display the data sits on the sae server as the Wordpress insstllation and has encoding utf8.

Japanese text that is hard-coded into the HTML of this page displays fine, only the text pulled from the database is not displaying properly.

http://chonanclegg.co.uk - page displays in-page Japanese text fine but does not display correctly any Japanese text pulled from the database.

http://chonanclegg.co.uk/photography - uses the same db and same data and displays Japanese text fine.

Many thanks for any help that can be provided.
