Re: database is utf-8, page is utf-8, but i get weird characters

setting the encoding in the database connection was the trick.
however, with this problem fixed weird things started up showing in
other places. turns out you have to specify UTF-8 when you use
htmlentities as well. i solved this by defining my own

function utfentities($string) {
return htmlentities($string, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
}

and using that instead of htmlentities
