Characters not displaying properly

Certain characters do not display correctly from the db

Hi

Certain characters do not seem to display properly when called from the database when using php

These characters appear to be the following - £ and ' signs

They just appear with a ? when displayed on the page

The field is collated as utf8_unicode_ci and I have also tried latin1_general_ci in the database but it does not seem to make any difference at all

I assume there is an easy way of dealing with this?

What character set/language is the web page being sent as?

I am inserting the data into a wordpress page

That's not what I asked. Look at the page properties and find out what character set it's using. Also look at the html and find out how those characters are being sent.
