I know this is a common question but I have RTFM and STFW until I'm blue in the face - I really need some help here. :)

I've tried base64_encode/base64_decode, rawurlencode/rawurldecode, utf8_encode/utf8_decode, combinations, and others. My MySQL table is set to use UTF8 and my web pages are all set to UTF8.
