David - check this out:
MySQL Bugs: #18321: Can't store Euro Sign with latin1_german1_ci and latin1_general_ci
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=18321

Hope it helps.

I tried "select '\342\202\254' as a;" and had mysql spit out a euro sign. If I try to store it in a table, it puts a ? in there.

(David - about as frustrating as figuring out why my iterator isn't iterating)

Have finally discovered that the mySQL server was upgraded from version 4.0.24 to version 4.1.19.

We were using Connector/J version 3.1.7. Have reverted to 3.0.17 so that instead of seeing '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' we now see the proper text, but the encoding is wrong or at least any special characters appear as '?'.

The original columns were BLOBs. I have tried to convert them to TEXT but with no success.

Does anyone know what I can do, or am I going to have to re enter all this data?

Kind regards,
David.

Ok people,

At this stage I am willing to pay anyone that is prepared to spend some time with me on this. I'm pulling my hair out and going around in circles. Please, anyone that can help, mail me directly on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

See previous messages on Problems with euro symbol and character sets..

Kind regards,
David.
