      I’m getting these strange charcaters in a DB, seems to happen with a UK currency sign is entered like this: Â£

       

      Tables and DB are set to UTF-8

       

      PHP Pages are set UTF-8

       

      Is there something else I should check?

      Hi,

       

      The UTF-8 character set supports the UK currency sign. If the table and database are set to UTF-8, you can try entering the data directly into tables through SQLyog and check if it converts it to Â£.

       

      I guess the data is being entered from somewhere else or where it is being fetched, there is some character set mismatch. Somewhere character set is ISO-8859-1 (most probably ) . If you are fetching the data on a HTML page, then check the encoding( content type )  in the head of the page or the content type in the header which the server is sending.
