If so, you set some encoding type and display?

Hi all,<br />
I have a database full of strings that look like this:<br />
company name ® &nbsp;some text<br />
<br />
When I echo the string all registered trademark symbols turn into question marks.<br />
Apart from converting the symbols into &quot;&amp;#169;&quot;, does anyone have any ideas how to remedy this?<br />
Cheers,<br />
