Encoding??? Weird characters (char)65533

807607Oct 26 2006 — edited Oct 26 2006

Hello,

I have been giving the pleasant task of bugfixing something that is not created by me. I've been trying to fix it, but I don't seem to get the solution.

The problem is that users are allowed to enter data on a php website. The data is then stored in a MySQL database BLOB field. A java application gets the data from the database and makes a PDF from that.

The problem is that when the Java program fetches the String from the ResultSet, all characters like "�,�,�" have been replaced by a '?'. The (char)65533. I have a feeling this has something to do with encoding???

I have actually no clue what to do... Can somebody enlighten me on this problem?
