title: Insert Degree Symbol in database through PHP
body: <p>Hi StackOverflow friends,</p>
  
  <p>I am storing temperature in my database but I cannot add the degree symbol. My code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$que = "Insert into tblTempForecast (DateTimePosted, Now, Tomorrow) VALUES(now(),'$CloseLow1 &amp;deg; - $CloseHi1 &amp;deg;','$CloseLow2 &amp;deg; - $CloseHi2 &amp;deg;')";
  $insertTemp = mysql_query($que);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My <code>$CloseLow1</code> is equal to 15 and <code>$CloseHi1</code> is 20. <code>$CloseLow2</code> is 18 and <code>$CloseHi2</code> is 22.</p>
  
  <p>However, with my code above, it only inserts the <code>$CloseLow1</code> and <code>CloseLow2</code>. It is supposed to insert the ff on the database:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ID (auto)              DateTimePosted             Now            Tomorrow
  1                      2013-11-18 15:25:48       15°-20°         18°-22°
  </code></pre>
