Can you output the characters pulled from the database properly using HTML? I'm not sure about the unicode handling of Flash, but you could try the following and see if you have any joy: When setting up your datasource in CFAdmin click the "show advanced settings" button, and in the connection string box put the following: useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8 Note: This string is case sensitive! That should encode anything going in and out, but any existing data won't be stored in the correct format so you'll still get dodgy chars pulling it back out. BTW, if you're worried about it not working on MySQL 4.0 -- we're still using 3.23 on a couple of servers and the above works absolutely fine! Any good?
