Accentuated characters not preserved in database dump

    Hi

    It is not a specific WordPress issue but when I save my database following the instructions in the Codex I loose all my accentuated characters (??, ?a, ?? etc).

    Is there a way to backup the base while conserving these characters _or_ a way for me to type the character as I am used to and convert it to html entities when writing them to the database?

    For your information I am using MySqL 4.0.22.

    Thanks in advance!

    Problem solved.

    To bring some closure: that was an issue with my webhost, we had to ask him to allow us to set a compatible character set when dumping the database through PHPmyadmin.

    My new host does not give this option but I did not have the problem at all (and he uses an older MySql version). I guess it depends on how your sysadmin sets up MySql/PHPMyadmin
