Hi pals.

I have this problem on my forum, everytime a ñ or spanish accent (zón) appears everything gets screwd, I either have an ? or a little square.

Some people have told me about the utf8 or some like that, looked on the Wiki the replacements, the ISO etc... Iv done everything and everything remains the same.

BTW. What's HTML entities? I saw that answer in another forum regarding almost the same problem.

Any help please?.

HTML entities are things such as:
<
>
&

These only work (I believe) for symbols.

I believe your issue is relating to charset; hopefully a more experienced member can shed some light on it.
