Text not appearing correctly - I'm getting Paté for Paté

Hi
I've just upgraded from 1.3.8a to 1.3.9h everything seems to be working as before apart from the text.

I'm getting Paté for **Paté **and £ when it's supposed to be £.

See here for the problem on my 1.3.9h version

I still have the original working 1.3.8a version here

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks

If you manually change the browser character encoding to UTF-8 the £ shows correctly implying the data in the database in encoded in UTF-8 and/or (not sure I am right here) the Zen cart-Mysql link is defined as using utf-8.

I think you have changed the correlation of the database table.
check your backup's correlation for that table and the new table and see the diff.

this is simple enough to fix by changing the correlation but i'd recommend going with the current one and changing all instances of bad characters instead - this will take far longer but be better ongoing.

That's just it - I can't change the instances because in the backend they appear correctly.

I've checked the correlation in both databases and they are exactly the same.

I eventually found the problem.
It was to do with the my template files - having copied them after updating they were still in iso-8859-1 so I changed this to UTF-8 in the html_header.php file and it sorted the characters out. :clap:
