Special characters in drop down boxes...

I've just imported the World Zones sql file (for oscommerce) into my Zen Cart (1.3.5). The import went fine and the countries and zones are displayed correctly in admin. However, when viewing the list of zones (for a specific country) in the drop down box (on the create account page) I noticed that all 'special characters (ie ä) are not displayed correctly.

The special character is printed (ie ä) and not ä.

Anyone know how to correct this?

If you're interested I downloaded the World Zones contribution from the link below.

Why didn't you use http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_55&products_id=194

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

I don't Zones World includes states/counties for countries (which is what I require).
