Hi People I'm not too familiar with PHP. What are these characters? They were originally meant to be £ signs but are now �. I googled and changed the encoding from charset=iso-8859-1 to UTF-8, but then I get the � character or the square character Thanks Craig

Hello, I'm not sure if this is in the right area but if it's not please feel free to move it. I'm in the process of creating a game where a user from the users table will be allowed to create and select characters that are binded to that users profile. Allowing users to have up to two characters that can be selected to "Play As" after login in with the user account. My problem is since while I am not extremely new to php, this approach has me a bit stumped. How could I bind characters created by a userid to that userid? Is it something simple that I missed and just am over thinking? For example sake, we'll use 'users' table and 'characters' table. Any help or suggestions? Much appreciated!
