setting the encoding in the database connection was the trick.
however, with this problem fixed weird things started up showing in
other places. turns out you have to specify UTF-8 when you use
htmlentities as well. i solved this by defining my own
function utfentities($string) {
return htmlentities($string, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
}
and using that instead of htmlentities
