Are you sure that's not a tilde (a wavy line above the A) instead
of a cedilla (a hook below the A)? The UTF-8 encoding for lowercase e
with grave is 0xc3 0xa8, which in ISO-8859-1 (LATIN1) or Windows-1252
is uppercase A with tilde followed by a diaeresis (an umlaut on its
own). Does the data appear correctly if you do either of the following?
SELECT convert(colname, 'utf8', 'latin1') FROM tablename;
Yep, I meant the A with the tilde (the word cedilla sounded Spanish...
lol). Thanks, the "convert" function does the trick for me.
Using win1252 I get a "invalid destination encoding" error, but no
problem since I know for sure there aren't any euro signs.
Thanks!!
