Can you check the following post out and give me some feedback on wether or not this fixes your problem? http://blog.rvdavid.net/mysql-funnystrange-characters-replacing-apostrophes-after-import/ Thanks in advance Vinh. rvdavid.

I squished this together into one query, it works just fine but I'm not sure which is best in terms of efficiency or best practice. <code>update set = replace(replace(replace( replace(replace(replace( replace(replace(, '’', '\''), '…', '...'), '–', '-'), '“', '"'), '”', '"'), '‘', '\''), '•', '-'), '‡', 'c');</code> Thanks for this, handy!

update set

=

replace(replace(replace(
replace(replace(replace(
replace(replace(,

'’', '\''),
'…', '...'),
'–', '-'),
'“', '"'),
'”', '"'),
'‘', '\''),
'•', '-'),
'‡', 'c');
