    Hi,
    i have the following problem:
    One table in my database is storing Cyrillic strings correctly but it is displaying them as question marks when the page is viewed in browser.
    The strange thing is that this is only happening for one of the tables, the other tables containing Cyrillic data are ok.

    Here is a JPG preview

    After trying everything, like changing the collations in database, character sets, exporting, importing, converting tables and database…
    I found what is the problem

    It was the way the data was read and presented from the database to the page
    This function was converting the data from the table to lower case characters and i am not sure why but this caused the characters to appear as question marks.

    echo strtolower( $value[‘name’] );

    After removing strtlower everything looks good.
