[SOLVED] Confused by character set

[asmith]

Hi,

 

I have a search form like this:

<form action="" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8" style="margin: 0;">

<input type="text" name="search" style="width: 190px;" value="'.$_POST['search'].'" />

 

When I type  €  character in it. It searches the database and apparently find things with these character. But it shows this character as €  (Convert it when page reloads for search)

 

Why is this happening? and how can I prevent it?
