Which character set does your editor use when saving the file? You see,
the problem might be that your editor stores Latin-1 and SQL stores and
returns UTF8.

Try telling the editor to write UTF8. At least kwrite lets you pick the
character set to use in the save dialog.

Out of curiosity, which operating system are you using? I'm having
character set prolems on my SuSE Linux Enterprise 9 box but I'm not
going to look into it as it is merely a test platform and will be
decommisioned shortly.

Best of luck. Character set problems are nasty. Can't really trust
anything but a hex editor if things get really hairy...
