Everytime I use content:"\005B" it becomes content:"�05B" <p>I have a CSS text which is stored into mySQL database.</p> <p>It's stored to <code>ibf_css</code> table, <code>css_text</code> column. <code>css_text</code> collation is <code>latin1_swedish_ci</code>.</p> <p>It's the way the web application I'm using works. The CSS is stored into the database and loaded with css.php. It's not the usual style.css like Wordpress.</p> <p>I have this in my CSS</p> <p><code>#userlinks &gt; span:before { content:"\005B";margin-right:4px; }</code></p> <p>Everytime I save it into database (through the web application), it changed to this</p> <p><code>#userlinks &gt; span:before { content:"�05B";margin-right:4px; }</code></p> <p>This happens with every line which has <code>\0</code>. Like <code>\005D</code>, <code>\00D0</code>, etc. It changed to <code>�05D</code>, <code>�0D0</code>, etc.</p> <p>If I edit with phpmyadmin, it's fine. But if I edit with the web application, it's troubled.</p> <p>Help please? Much appreciated.</p>
