Mr.n Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 hey all, I have an sms application created with php. i created the mysql db and it's working fine with utf-8 i can understand all the characters. Now when it comes to sms delivery when a unicode message is sent all the unicode characters like arabic or french accents appears as question marks. Should i do something to encode the php variable as unicode? i am already encoding it as URL. If yes Please tell me what function can help to encode as utf-8 Thank you, Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144141-unicode-characters-showing-as-question-marks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
