  <p>I have a mysql table to store currency information including their symbols. The column that stores the symbol is of collation 'utf8_general_ci. The charset of the web page is set to UTF-8.
  But when I fetch the Euro and Pound symbol from that table it is not shown correctly on the browser. If I change the page charset to ISO-8859-1 those symbols appear. I need the UTF-8 because I have some russian characters as well which ISO-8859-1 does not support.</p>
