This is a classic sign of character encoding problems--the DB looks like it's in unicode, but for some reason you're seeing it in some lesser encoding. Does your browser have a setting to switch character encodings? If so, try flipping to UTF-8 and see what happens. The next step after that is to make Typo and your browser communicate correctly. Which web server are you using? Scott
