Hi Ray,
I have done that, but please forgive me for following up, can you advice me which of the following I need to change, because the "dreaded diamonds" are still showing up (url in private message)
Database
Character Set utf8 -- UTF-8 Unicode
collation utf8_general_ci
Tables utf8_unicode_ci
Php
$SIG2 = new mysqli($hostname_SIG2, $username_SIG2, $password_SIG2, $database_SIG2);
$SIG2->set_charset('utf8');
