I am having a problem with the character sets ( I think ) I am reading from a mysql database with php and for some reason alot of question marks and other strange characters are being displayed. I looked at the response header and the response is in UTF-8, when I look in the database, with phpMyAdmin none of the characters show up.

What about your page's charset meta tag? Also, you might check what View Source looks like.

I *think* that PHP is outputting Latin-1(ISO 8859-1) - I know that it did when I tried some PHP that has been encoded to UTF-8. Even though the server said itīs UTF-8, itīs Latin-1 in truth.
Try to switch the charset to Latin-1(in your browser) to see if itīs correct then.
As a sidenote, for some reason some of the PHP didnīt work when encoded as UTF-8.
