Hello,
I'm developing a site that makes use of wordpress. The homepage is
outside of wordpress and I am pulling the latest 3 blog posts from the
wordpress database to display on the homepage. The problem is that
special characters (—) for example, do not display properly. It
displays as a "?" with a diamond around it �. The characters actually
display fine withing the wordpress blog portion of the site.
I tried changing the encoding on the homepage to UTF-8 (wordpress uses
this), but no luck. Any ideas?
Thank You

What does your browser say the encoding is?
Did you try to save a string from the database to a text file?
If the browser says it is utf-8, and the text file shows question marks
(even in a hexdump), it may be the connection library that generates the
question marks.
Good luck,

Strange. My browser (firefox) was set to UTF-8 encoding. I set it to
ISO-8859-1 and the mdashes display fine. If I change the encoding in
the header of the web page to UTF-8, and then try to view with the
browser set to UTF-8, I still see the nonsense character. Any ideas on
why this won't work with UTF-8. The header of the Wordpress page shows
UTF-8, and everything displayes fine with the browser set to UTF-8.
Thanks,

Any other ideas on this issue. Since my last post, I tried using
utf8_encode on the string pulled from the database. This method
actually strips out the special characters entirely!! I'm at a loss.

WordPress...

Reimplement the home page as a WordPress Page; write a plugin to
extract and display the last three blog posts and use it on the
home page.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
