title: Echo German characters from MySQL database?
body: <p>I have a database full of German contacts. </p>
  
  <p>The database itself displays all the unique German characters fine (when i'm looking at it in the admin control panel), but when I echo any special German character onto my site it displays as a � (or an empty square on Windows). </p>
  
  <p>How can I get it to output the correct characters?</p>
  
  <p>Everything is set to UTF-8 (the database table, columns and webpage encoding).</p>
