Help - Character encoding issue

    Hi all

    This is probably a silly question but it is doing my head in.

    Example:

    In my database I have the following text:
    Our client – A prominent
    

    However when I display this text on a webpage it displays as follows:
    Our client � A prominent
    

    The webpage uses the following character type:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    

    Can you think of any reason why the "–" is not displaying correctly?

    Any advice appreciated.

    Cheers

    Try this:
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-10646-utf-1">

    How is the database encoded?
