    Are you sure everything is set for a proper character set encoding supporting those characters -- in terms of the editor and form used to create the data, any database used to store the data, AND in terms of your output? Be sure you've set UTF-8 across the board.

    Though I'm not familiar with "simple_html_dom" -- do you mean this?
    http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

    If so I'd not be surprised if it doesn't support non latin-1 characters, it seems a little fly-by-night.

    Is there some reason you're using some goofy redundant script instead of DOMDocument?

    Have I ever mentioned how much I hate it when people write libraries, frameworks and other such systems that replicate existing functionality?
